KYOHYOGU ONOZAWA

"Aiming for the standard of the future"

Kyo-Hyogu, which has inherited and preserved traditional beauty within a set of rules and regulations, is now being put into an artistic framework to create "new Hyogu". We hope that this free expression of "Hyogu x Art" will become the standard of Hyogu for the next 100 years.

ARTISAN STORY

Mitsunori Onozawa / Kyohyogu Onozawa
He has been a craftsman in Kyoto, Japan since 1995, making shoji screens, hanging scrolls, and folding screens for use in tea rooms. He used to be a band member and spent his days playing music, but after visiting a relative's Hyogu shop, he became fascinated by the depth of the art of Hyogu and decided to become a craftsman. He focuses on the crafting of art panels, not only traditional ones, but also those that fit in with modern interiors, using his Hyogu techniques.

ACHIEVEMENTS

・Received Kyoto Governor's Award
・Received the Kyoto Shimbun Award
・He has received more awards for their work.

KYO HYOGU / KYOTO ART MOUNTING

About 1,200 years ago / 800s / Heian Period (794–1185)

Mounting techniques reached Japan with Buddhist paintings and sutras and were refined in Kyoto through temples, the court and tea culture. Hanging scrolls, folding screens and sliding panels are built from layers of washi, textile and paste, engineered to remain flat while responding to changes in humidity.

In Japan, scrolls and screens are not merely frames for art; they allow interiors to change with the seasons. Kyoto mounters play an intentionally supporting role—enhancing the painting or calligraphy, preserving it and repairing it when necessary rather than competing with it visually.

The most fascinating principle is that a good mounting is made with future restoration in mind. Wheat-starch paste and paper layers can later be separated and renewed. Avoiding permanent modern adhesives is precisely what allows centuries-old works to be repaired generation after generation.

Individual Differences

As each piece is individually handcrafted, slight variations in color, pattern, shape, and texture may occur. These subtle differences are a natural characteristic of handcrafted works, making each piece truly unique. We hope you will enjoy these individual variations as part of the beauty and character of Japanese craftsmanship.

Production Time

If an item is not currently in stock, it may be made to order by the artisan. As each piece is carefully handcrafted, production may take several months depending on the item and the artisan's schedule. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
