SHOHEI KUBO

Something Ancient yet Novel

In an attempt to give shape to the emotions I harbored towards paper, I set off to the weaving factory with paper threads in hand.

Visiting the factory, which has thrived for over a century, was an entirely unknown experience for me. It felt like stepping onto a future spaceship.

Weaving paper threads proved to be challenging, and initially, I encountered numerous failures. However, when I finally held the woven fabric in my hands, I experienced sensations I had never felt with other materials.
