I create heart-warming pictures in Hida Takayama, the hometown of my heart. Please come to Takayama.
Norihito YOSHIMOTO is an artist who depicts colorful and rich natural scenes and long established customs of Hida Takayama using the traditional art form of kirie (decorative paper cutting). With his style of pure, unique and modern Japanese taste, he has created pieces of kirie art which coincide with the current daily life of Japan. (source: Mitsukoshi Living)
