Painting exhibition entitled ‘The World of Viet Nam in Microcosms’
On display are the works of the Japanese painter TOBA Mika. Deeply inspired by her various journeys to Viet Nam starting in 1994, the Japanese painter creates colourful, impressive and thought-provoking images of Viet Nam in transition by using Katazome - a centuries old unique Japanese dyeing technique.
Katazome is a Japanese stencil dyeing technique that originates more than a thousand years ago. It uses a paste-resist process and is used to dye both cloth and paper. Katazome incorporates elements of printmaking and painting, and relies on simple natural materials: paper, rice paste and soymilk. This technique consists of 18 complicated stages.
