Created on rare Tosa washi, an indigo-dyed handmade paper from Kochi Prefecture, this piece showcases a stunning blend of traditional craftsmanship and artistic inspiration. It is said that no one today can replicate this unique indigo color, making the washi as precious as the stars it represents.

The result is a mesmerizing artwork that celebrates the grandeur of the universe and the timeless elegance of Japanese calligraphy.
