Masterpiece! Mid-autumn moon in "cut painting" Rabbits holding hands (2022/09/15)
107 view満月と重なった先週の中秋の名月が、こんなに美しく切り取られました。
The moon on last week's mid-autumn day which coincided with the full moon, was cut into a very beautiful shape.月を背景に手を取り合う1組のウサギ。
On the moon background a pair of rabbits holding hands.繊細な線で描かれているようですが、実はこちら、1枚の紙をカッターで切って描いた「切り絵」です。
At first glance it looked like it was drawn with thin lines, but it was actually a "cut picture" created by cutting a piece of paper with a cutter.制作した切り絵作家の石本洋子さんは、5年ほど前に友達に誘われ切り絵を始め、百人一首など「和」をテーマにした作品を作っています。
Yoko Ishimoto, a paper-cutting artist, started cutting paper at the invitation of a friend about five years ago, and has done works with a "traditional Japanese" theme, such as Hyakunin Isshu.「ギリギリでしたね。出来上がったのが前日ぐらいだったので」
“So close. I just finished it a few days ago.”当初は秋ごろまでにお月様の作品を、と考え制作を始めた石本さん。
Originally, artist Ishimoto started working on the idea of creating a moon-sized piece in autumn.作業を進めるうちに、9月10日の今年の中秋の名月に間に合うように完成させたいと思うようになったそうです。
When embarking on the project, she was determined to complete it in time for the full moon of this year on September 10.しかし、切り絵ならではの壁が立ちはだかりました。
However, a unique wall stood in the way.「切り絵はなかなか急いでもあまり変わらないというか、切るスピードはそんなに速くできない。そのために時間を作るということです」
“Even though I rushed to do it, I couldn't finish the cut, or rather, I couldn't cut as fast as I wanted. To get it done quickly, you have to spend a lot of time on it.”石本さんの苦労のかいあってラブラブの2匹のウサギは、夜空に輝く中秋の名月を見ることができたようです。
Thanks to Ishimoto's hard work, the two love rabbits were able to see the harvest moon shining in the night sky.満月と重なった先週の中秋の名月が、こんなに美しく切り取られました。
