Tsuguo Yanai's Fiber Art

Tsuguo Yanai is an award-winning Japanese artist who works in the medium of paper work, or fiber art. Though engaged in a variety of creative endeavours, his main emphasis is on creating installations under the theme of "Matter and Memory."

The common thread in all of his works, from prints to installations, is that they involve working with the medium of fiber, which is the basis of paper.
