Meeting Hisako Uchimura

Hisako Uchimura and me in her studio

our group

While I was in Ogawa, I had the opportunity to meet the legendary papermaker, Hisako Ucnimura, who has been making paper for over 30 years. I have been using her paper since 2018, so I felt I knew her through her paper. It was humbling for me to meet her in person- I shared my work with her, so she could see how I used her paper. She seemed to like it, which made my day! You can read more about her on the Wanokaze-washi website.
