Washi Tales

NEW YORK, New York – Recycling: washi tales brings to life in performance the human stories contained in sheet of "washi" (Japanese handmade paper) as it is recycled through time. Four tales of paper making from different periods of Japanese history unfold on stage with an extraordinary ensemble of performers and musicians (directed by Elise Thoron), in a world created by distinguished paper artist, Kyoko Ibe. I created the illustrations that appear on the website to go along with this amazing collaboration.
