Eriko Horiki, expert washi (Japanese paper) artist
Eriko Horiki
Washi designer
Born in Kyoto in 1962
She is involved in everything from conserving tradition to the design and production of startling washi works adapted to the times and innovative washi-based uses of space, from international airport lobbies to stage sets for top notch classical musicians.
Washi designer Eriko Horiki is forever thinking outside the box. Whether making a single sheet 16 meters wide, a 3D paper structure with no joins, or paper with aluminum or silver foil mixed in, she continues to pioneer her own novel modes of washi expression.
Takeshi visits the Iwano Heizaburo papermaking workshop in Fukui Prefecture on the Japan Sea coast and Horiki's studio in Kyoto. The historic Echizen washi making skills have been preserved in Fukui and there he meets the veteran craftsmen who still produce the paper by hand. Their work represents the traditional power that underpins Horiki's creations. In Kyoto, he observes Horiki's giant papermaking sieve which she developed herself. She is making some astonishing pieces, including a single-sheet, 3D paper chandelier with crystals sieved in. Her works exhibit truly feminine strength and flexibility. While looking around, Takeshi and Horiki also talk in depth about the nature of tradition and change.
TAKESHI's VOICE
TAKESHI's VOICE
It's fantastic what innovative artwork Eriko has been able to create out of this old tradition. Nowadays the movie business uses digital cameras. But I reckon we'll be returning to film in the future. It's just that no one has figured out yet how to show that film is better. Digital photos can be retouched, but some people prefer images that can't be retouched. With all this in mind, I'd like people to re-acknowledge the benefits of analog over digital, and of handmade washi over factory-made, mass-produced paper.
