Kiri-e Paper-Cutting Art Captures the Flickering Light of Poignant Moments
Hiroki Saito is a kiri-e paper-cutting artist devoted to his own expressive form, using nothing more than single sheets of black paper and a precision craft knife with a pointed edge. Employing delicate lines and overlapping layers, his work depicts everyday scenes such as cherry blossoms bathed in spring light and drops of light shimmering on water surfaces. Filled with a mysterious sense of charm, it seems to capture special moments hidden within familiar landscapes. Saito has been creating a stream of unique works that evoke the qualities of light with subtle techniques that make full use of paper as a material. In our conversation, he spoke about the source of his creativity and his thoughts on the future.
