konnichi-wa, heARTists and heART lovers around the world.

it’s the 8th day of the 9th month, and time to show off a little more of Yuri’s heARTwork.

while we’re still busy in post with our documentary, War Brides of Japan, we’ll make it quick.

besides being an incredible artist, Yuri also had a green thumb. a long-time lover of all varieties of flowers, she loved creating art with that theme as much as she enjoyed growing flora.

wooden you love it?

konnichi-wa dear heARTists and heARTwork lovers around the world!

it’s the 8^th day of the 11^th month, and time to enjoy more heARTwork by Yuri.

besides carving heARTwork out of wood, Yuriko also enjoyed painting on their surfaces. she especially liked to use pieces of wood with natural holes and other textures embellished on them. first, Yuri would have her husband cut, polish and prepare the wood. then, after tracing her designs on them with pencils, she would paint them with acrylics.

since Yuri painted so many pieces of heARTwork on wood, we’ll only feature the ones with flowers this time, but please stay tuned for more later.

konnichi-wa to all true heARTists everywhere!

it's the 8th day of the 10th month, and time to share more of the heARTwork Yuri loved to create.

dabbling in so many mediums gave her incredible versatility, and each new method she learned was an adventurous undertaking.

following are her creations in silk. one is an illustration she painted on silk fabric, others are pieces made of silk.
