Hasegawa Takako
Cut-paper Artist Takako Hasegawa completed her postgraduate studies at the Kyoto City University of Arts Graduate School of Fine Arts. She is currently a part-time lecturer at Kagawa University and holds the title of "Geijutsu-shi®" (Certified Art Expert). Inspired by her return to her hometown, she encountered the culture of traditional Japanese paper (washi) that is prevalent in various parts of Shikoku. Captivated by its smooth texture and beauty, she has been creating art pieces using the technique of "kirigami" (cut-paper art) and space installations illuminated by light. She is originally from Shikoku Chuo City and currently resides in Kagawa Prefecture.
