KOCHUKYO
A bamboo craft artist living in Kyoto. One of the features of her works is the delicate weaving. By making the most of the beauty of traditional patterns through weaving and decorative techniques, she continues to create works that are close to Japan’s nature.
Ms. Ogura’s love for Japan’s nature and tradition appears through the delicate and elegant weaves. Pursuing a universal beauty, she takes each expression seriously. As a result, her works resonate within the hearts of people, like flowers that bloom gracefully.
