Providing proof that Kingston has no intention of venerating her aunt becomes necessary in order to further analyze her true intention behind her stated declaration. The phrase “devote pages of paper” is evidently used in reference to Kingston’s chapter, “No Name Woman,” in which she states both the story of her aunt and her analysis of it in remembrance of the aunt’s existence. As well, Kingston’s inclusion of the word “alone” emphasizes that only she has ever committed to her aunt’s remembrance. Yet to add further meaning to this line, the succeeding and concluding phrase of this sentence states, “…though not origamied into houses and clothes.” The idea of devoting through origami, an art form of paper folding, is used in Asian…
Developed originally for family and friends, our ideas have been transformed into something greater. What started as mere exploration of shapes and patterns has been cultivated and refined into a line of both functional and nonfunctional artwork and home-décor. Initially crafted for use in the quintessential Italian kitchen, the fruits of our labor began to run wild amidst the horizon of innovation. Under careful guidance, all of the work is designed and produced by hand in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA utilizing eco-friendly materials as well as recycled materials when applicable.…
One of the most influential artists of the Modern Period of art was James Whistler. Whistler was an accomplished printer and painter and a brief background of the painter allows us to understand Whistler, and why more than any artist of his time, he would be attracted to Japanese woodblock prints called Ukiyo-e. It is also essential to understand the essence of Ukiyo-e, Japanese aesthetics and its migration to the Western world. Additionally, a chronological selection of Whistler’s works must be analyzed showing how he integrated the lessons he learned from his exposure to Ukiyo-e.…

Art in the Renaissance era was very influential; this period experienced changes in art, new forms of artistic entertainment were introduced, and new techniques were developing. In Japan, a new style of artwork was beginning to blossom and grow in popularity: Ukiyo-e, “Pictures of the floating world.” Typical Ukiyo-e portrayed images of the earth and the arts.

By the Edo period (1603-1868), paper folding in Japan had become recreational as well as ceremonial, often featuring multiple cuts and folds. It came to be regarded as a new form of art that was enabled by the advent of both mass -produced and more affordable. Written instructions for paper folding first appeared in 1797, with Akisato Rito’s Sembazuru Orikata, or “thousand crane folding.” In 1845, Adachi Kazuyuki published a more comprehensive compilation of paper folding with Kayaragusa; by the late 1800s, the term for paper folding had morphed from orikata (“folded shapes”) to origami.…
Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa is one of the most iconic works in the history of Japanese art. Presumably created in Japan around 1829-1832, the woodblock print was part of the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series which featured ravishing sceneries of Mount Fuji. Being the first print in the series, The Great Wave off Kanagawa was a phenomenal success. Hence, Hokusai added ten more designs into the collection. Before the emergence of Japanese printmakers such as Katsushika Hokusai, woodblock printing technique has been around for centuries and used mainly for printing of texts. One of the printing styles, Ukiyo-e, was used by Japanese printmakers in the Edo period. The subject matter revolved around popular culture, such…
