Message from the Artist

In the making, I seek the “something”
that emerges between paper and the hand,
creating a space to search for the subtle presence dwelling in-between.
The Japanese word “Tema” (effort)
breaks down into “Te” (hand) and “Ma” (time),
reflecting my belief that touching paper is　time itself
—a quiet moment spent facing the material and its tactile essence.

“In Between Paper and the Hand” allows visitors
to touch various papers and share time at their own pace.
It is a space to experience a comfortable “in-between”
and the simple joy of things being in the making.
If, by tracing the journey of paper,
you may see your own life as always becoming
and cherish those moments, nothing would make me happier.
— Yuko Nishimura
