Step away from Tokyo’s fast rhythm and explore a cyanotype workshop that captures the city’s traces and the chance moments discovered while walking. Starting from a meeting point, we will take a slow walk through the area, collecting objects that seem meaningful along the way, and then create original prints under the sun!
Cyanotype is an early photographic technique that uses sunlight and water to produce vivid blue images. Participants will learn how the shapes of various objects leave their traces on paper through light and time. By walking, noticing, and imprinting with sunlight, you will capture Tokyo’s fast-paced landscape while experiencing the slower rhythms hidden within it.
What to bring
-3–5 small objects that you associate with Tokyo or that remind you of the city
-An apron
＊Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty.
＊Each participant may take their prints home as a memory, but we kindly ask you to contribute one piece to be included in the artist’s exhibition.

Her work explores the interplay of images and words through comics and publications, often juxtaposing existential questions with everyday experiences. Moving between countries has shaped her concern with permanence in fast-moving urban life, and her practice seeks ways to leave traces, stimulate reflection, and connect through shared experiences.
