Japanese Gold Leaf


     Gold Leaf of 0.0001 millimeters thick is particularly transparent. Based on the video of " The Making of Gold Leaf" , gold leaf can be made from Silver and Copper. In order to make a gold leaf, gold is stretched by several processes. The completed gold is called as "Uwazumi", Besides the gold leaf, the right type of paper needs to be prepared too to make the gold leaf. Washi papers are the essential papers for this entire process.

     Gold is a precious metal since the ancient times and it has been used in ornamental items. The finished gold leaf requires delicate handling as it is extremely thin. Gold leaf is often used to decorate various items, such as pottery, accessories and it is also used in Buddhist art like statues and symbols.

     Apparently, there is another saying in Japan --- Kintsugi (Kintsukuroi) , which is where Japanese people apply golden colour onto the broken part of the pottery such as pot, cups and the rest. As Japanese people treat breakage and repair them as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

Ozabu

     Ozabu is an artist who draws soft and smooth drawings that are related to Japanese extracts with mechanical pencil. Ozabu's drawings are usually very light and soft. Just like Dimitra Milan, Ozabu's passion for arts was big influence by her parents. However, as a self-taught artist, Ozabu did not use any reference books nor does any research on what the other artists use to draw and such.
