Ai Imamura
Ai Imamura uses Japanese cedar that has been buried in the ground for a long time. She uses this precious material to make boxes, which she decorates with detailed patterns using gold and silver foil cut into pieces only a few millimeters in size, always trying to express the feeling of natural beauty. I am very proud to be able to tell you about all of these exceptional artworks from Kogei Art KYOTO.
