Yuko's inspiration for her paper art comes from her own experiences of Japanese life- the connections between the use of paper in daily life (the unconcious action of folding paper/ use of paper in daily life) - and the simplicity at the core of paper art. She keeps the integrity of traditional Japanese origami through paper-folding and an absence of tools whilst using creative innovative ways to express and connect with current and future generations.
"The desire to express the Japanese soul through form and to breath fresh life into an artistic practice that continues to be passed down from generation to generation"-Paper, Tear, Fold, Rip, Crease, Cut- Paul Sloman
It's amazing to me that in this generation of computers and enhancing software that designer is using an age old tradition of origami and no tools but her hands. Yuko is surely the epitome of hand crafted design.
