Mr. Fujishiro has turned 80 this year and he has been creating his world of illusions for over half a century. In his book published last year, he details how he first encountered shadow pictures when he was a college student and he thought that light and shadow were the most beautiful things in the world. Throughout his career, he has completed his art from start to finish (drawing the picture, cutting the paper, tearing, pasting, superimposing, and cutting again) without any assistance.

Placed in a special wall fixture and lit from the back, minutely executed worlds of fantasy, flora and fauna and often mystical biblical images, draw the viewer into the magical illumination of Kage-e (paper-cut art). More information, go to http://www.seiji-fujishiro.co.jp
