Paper cutting art requires incredible patience and a steady hand. Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda has mastered this craft. Known as Kirie in Japanese (which means “cut picture”), the traditional art form involves cutting complex forms from a single sheet of white paper and contrasting it against a black background in order to reveal the design. Fukuda has been practicing Kirie for 25 years and she's recently revealed what she believes to be her best work of 2018—a mesmerizing life-sized paper octopus.
At first glance, the beautiful artwork looks like it was rendered using fine-tipped pens; however, Fukuda carefully cut every detail from one sheet of paper. The elaborate depiction details the majestic sea animal’s rounded body, bulging eyes, and eight long arms. Various textured sections look like pieces of delicately patterned lace, such arm suckers that resemble decorative doilies and decorative swirling patterns on the head. The astonishing artwork celebrates the beauty of the species, that are known to change their skin color and texture within seconds to match their surroundings.
You can see Fukuda’s amazing Kirie designs up-close at Miraie Gallery in Osaka from April 24 through April 30, 2019. If you cannot make it to Japan, you can check out more of the artist’s impressive creations on Instagram.
