ここのところNaturePrintすることが多いノリウツギですが、何度か拓画にもしています。
この写真はノリウツギから出る粘液をネリに使った奈良県吉野の和紙に拓画した時のものです。
日本橋の小津和紙に吉野和紙の工房が展示販売にいらしていた際に購入した紙だったので、小津和紙ギャラリーでの展覧会-stay home-で展示しました。
同じ植物でも摺り方や摺りとる素材によって随分違う印象です。
少し手間が多いですがやっぱり和紙も拓画も大好きです。
Panicle hydrangea has been NaturePrinted a lot recently, and I have also done takuga several times.
I made Takuga on Japanese paper from Yoshino, Nara Prefecture, which is made by mixing the mucilage from the Panicle hydrangea.
I bought this paper when the Yoshino Washi studio was exhibiting and selling it at Ozu Washi in Nihonbashi, so when I had an exhibition at Ozu Washi, I exhibited a Takuga of Panicle hydrangea made on that paper.
The same plant gives a very different impression depending on the way it is printed and the material from which it is printed. It takes a lot of work, but I love both Japanese paper and Takuga.
