Kathmandu: Coinciding with the Exhibition ‘NINGYŌ: Art & Beauty of Japanese Dolls’, the Embassy of Japan is also organizing two sessions of workshop on Chigiri-e on 16 Dec. (Sat) in Nepal Art Council Gallery, Babarmahal.

The said Workshop will commence from 11 a.m. and 1.30 p.m.

The technique dates from the Heian period of Japanese history when it was often used in conjunction with calligraphy. Handmade paper is essential for the creation of chigiri-e images.
