Profile
Dyeing Artist：Aiko Kurebayashi
As I am very fond of horses, I have mostly painted pictures of them. I believe that fine art is a powerful tool to express the beauty of horses.
I feel glad when I get comments of people that they got to like horses though my works. I am also delighted to engage in traditional Japanese Yuzen dyeing which can express the beauty of Japan as well, even though this is a tough job.
I want to put something into my works that not only makes people like it but also stirs the soul of people with a gasp.
