Thank you for visiting "The Cats' Office" from the inside at the shop on some Internet as the number of the stars.This "The Cats' Office" displays the Lampshade which are made of Japanese paper, the paper clay and drawing whith a pen on the Net. As for the work, all hand-made is original. The office name of "The Cats' Office" comes from the Kenji Miyazawa's work of "The Cat Office"(Kenji Miyazaki is one of famous japanes novelist of children's story)
I like a cat very much. There is a lot of work of cat subject.I live whith cats and it thinks that it whishes to be like "Kamaneko kun" in the world of the cat.(Kamaneko kun is a protagonist of a children's story "The Cat Office")
I loved to draw a picture from infancy.I was engaged in the work of Yuzen dying in Kyoto for 16 years after I graduated from the University.
I made a specialty of " Itomenorioki" which is one of the techiques for from and color.
Itomenorioki tecnhique requires the greatest skillin the entire Yuzen dyeing process. The paste,in liquid from, is obtained by steaming rice powder.The past is squeezed out from a funnel-like tube and the outline traced by following the rough sketch.The purpose is to serve as resist. This is called "Itome."High quality is referred to as Itome Yuzen.
It means of "Itomenorioki" is that for the color which is different when dyeing a pattern color in hand drawing Yuzen to be preveted from mixing with each other, it puts a paste on the line of the sketch like the thread, being attenuate.The paste fulfils a funtion which prevents pouring off the where a dyestuff was specfied. It is quite minute work.Because to be in the good or bad of norioki, there is influence the result of dying, the hand doesn't come off.
I like to draw a line drawing because there is a place to be common to the work with this Itome. After that, it moved in from Kyoto to Nagoya. For a while, in the work, it was going through continuation Kyoto but it began tha shop of the original product in the time while studying flower arrangement and aromatherapy, Tole paint, metal engraving and so on and opeing a classroom.I like to use a fiengertip and every day work making near the cats.The sometimes-fawning cats odstruct but creative motivation is aroused by the gesture and the attractiveness of the cat.
There was a situation slightly until recently and it paused in manufacturing activity but could begin lampshade making again. Then, it thinks that home page is able to be composed of it, too, this time and for it to become more your and acquaintances through the Internet and also to exchange inhormation on much.
Pleace, we ask well.
