My handmade Japanese wallpaper

Do you remember that pic ? Well here I am again, making my Japanese wallpaper. Last week end, Monchéri and I wanted to hang my handmade strips of wallpaper in the office space and discovered that they are actually too short. So I'm doing it again. I need to make 40 of those. I don't mind, painting kanjis and little objects is very relaxing ! The kanjis represent poetic names of Japanese cakes called wagashi, my favorite one being hana no en, "the banquet under the flowers" or hana chiru sato, "the place where the flowers are being scattered by the wind". Cool names for cakes, non ?

By the way, one of my latest blogs crush is the beautiful poetic blog of Ruma, Calligraphy in the landscape. Check it out for a daily dosis of oriental poetry !

ps : yes, turquoise is one of my fave colours !

Hello Lala,

I have always loved the Japanese aesthetic. Spare minimalism, shibui... And I've created characters in my art work over the years. Then I've blown these characters up as compositions, and shrunk them down into grids for background and narrative effect. Wonderful stuff. Japan offers mysterious and striking elegance.

Best,

David

Such an ambitious project! If you get close to the end of a strip and spill ink or make some serious mistake what do you do? I can not imagine the frustration level!
Very beautiful, Lala- you and the paper.

I remember that pic! Your characters are beautiful! So funny, today I spent the whole day studying Chinese and now I saw your kanjis (many of them Chinese characters, by the way!)
Ooooh...Andalucian home with a twist! :-)
Yes I remember this pic. I think I remember all your pics!
Oh this is just beautiful, how clever. You are color coordinated with your wallpaper too!
