‘Comb for Otohime’, hairpins made by Rui Kikuchi, 2010.⠀
⠀
Inspired by the shapes, colours and textures of #seaweed and also by #Japanese folk tales about underwater societies such as ‘Urashima Taro’, this striking contemporary interpretation of Japanese hair combs for women is part of a recent range of works created by the Japanese jeweller Rui Kikuchi.⠀
⠀
The pins are a result of an unusual but highly successful combination of #kirigami, the traditional Japanese paper-cutting technique that relies on a repetitive pattern made by folding and cutting paper, with discarded PET bottles which are such potent symbols of our throw-away society. The artist developed the highly naturalistic seaweed patterns by transferring cut paper patterns to PET bottles which were then hand cut, dyed and mounted on hand crafted silver pins. Kirigami is the openwork technique frequently used by Kikuchi in her jewellery practice. ⠀
