ABOUT THE ARTIST
Northwest artist Aki Sogabe creates her artworks using "kiri-e," a traditional Japanese technique in which images are made with intricately cut paper. Sogabe was in middle school when she made her first paper-cut artworks. She studied design and illustration at the Japan Art Institute. In 1978, she moved to the U.S. and introduced kiri-e to the Pacific Northwest. She is also an award-winning children's book illustrator. Her public art is installed in Seattle's Pike Place Market (panels showing the history of Japanese American farmers), the "Dragon Tower" at Uwajimaya Village in Seattle, and other sites in Washington State. She lives in Bellevue, Western Washington.
