かつしかを摺るvol.2

ついに4月。新年度ですね。
新たなスタートを切られる皆様、おめでとうございます！
以前もお知らせした進行中のプロジェクトについてご報告です。
“かつしかを摺るvol.2”として堀切を拓画で紹介します。
葛飾区役所の皆様にお願いし、堀切菖蒲園や地域の街路樹などを採取し拓画にします。
当初の予定より制作開始が遅れましたが、来年の菖蒲まつり直前の展覧会などでご覧いただくため、先月から制作を開始しています。
採取や制作の様子なども今後ご紹介していきますので、堀切の四季を感じていただけたら嬉しいです。

A Fresh Start in April!
A new fiscal year has begun—congratulations to everyone embarking on new journeys!
I’d like to share an update on my ongoing project, which I previously announced. As part of “Printing Katsushika with Takuga vol.2”, I will be introducing the Horikiri area through Takuga—a unique form of printmaking that captures the textures of real objects.
With the cooperation of Katsushika City Office, I have started collecting impressions of various plants from Horikiri Shobuen Garden and local streetscapes throughout the seasons. Using these collected materials, I create Takuga. Although the project started later than planned, I officially began production last month. The goal is to exhibit the works just before next year’s Shobu (Iris) Festival.
So far, I have collected and worked with flowers that bloomed in March. Moving forward, I will continue to document Horikiri’s changing seasons through Takuga. I look forward to sharing this journey with you!
