Alongside Kojima Shouten, a studio that has been making Kyoto paper lanterns since its founding in the middle of the Edo period (1603-1868 A.D.), the iconic washi paper and bamboo shade of the region has been reimagined as 10 designs. Each design is presented with two results, a juxtaposition of before and after, which sees Hyouri’s shades seem to swallow parts of themselves, some triply nested, and some even reaching inward to peak through the other side. #nendo hyouri, 2021 by @nendo_official Photography by Takumi Ota, Hiroshi Iwasaki. nendo sees kyoto / Friedman Benda / September 22 - October 15, 2022.
