Japanese Shikishi Ningyo - Defeated Origami and Three-dimensional sculpture made from Paper Vasi. Vasi is already in itself art, revered in Japan and introduced by UNESCO in the list of cultural heritage. Vasi paper is made only manually, from collecting plants to the final stages of coloring, giving it texture and selection. And it is made traditionally from plants growing only in this region. So paper from Gifu will differ from the paper of Fukuoka. And today there are about 100 types of paper Vasi!
But today the story is not about paper, but about dolls. Admire what skill they are attached to the form, emphasizing the elegance of the figure, asking the movement. The paper is not just selected, not just minimized, it is crumpled so that we felt the ease of silk and the severity of the brocade, coated with lack of hairstyles and tough belts of Ob.
Recognizable and fabrics, and kimono species, paper beauties are as exquisied as alive.
