Kaori Nakanishi
Born on
7th January in1975 in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, she took up
the art of kirie paper-cutting when she was in university.
In 2006, she left her job to become a professional kirie illustrator.
Presently, she creates kirie illustrations for magazines and
holds exhibitions at various locations. Delicately created
by hand with a sharp utility knife, a cut paper kirie makes
a beautiful picture.
Historically, kirie is well-known and popular around the world. In Japan, kirie
is regarded as a form of traditional culture because its motifs often depict
Japanese customs and folktales. While honoring the rich kirie tradition, she
aims to employ the art form in contemporarily expressing design and illustration.
