The front of the kokeshi lantern is painted by a kokeshi lantern craftsman based on NON's design drawing, and the back is decorated with NON's ribbon art.

■NON's comment

It has been almost 7 years since I started my art activities. I have been looking at my artwork for the next step, and I have finally found what I think is the right one.

I have been making ribbon art for four years, but I am still discovering more possibilities.

Ribbons that look like insects, ribbons that look like human bodies, ribbons that look like dust, and pretty ribbons that morph eerily into various other images.

I am looking forward to exhibiting my ribbon works in Rokko, where I have laid them out to my heart's content.

I hope that the ribbon art will slowly scatter and stir your emotions.
Please come and be disturbed.

■New merchandise is also on sale at the exhibition site!
