A unique art form perfected by Japanese artist Kazuo Akasaki who can spend as much as six months producing a single work. Each is completed entirely of fallen leaves. After being awarded the “Salon de Paris” at the 1986 Fine-arts Paris Exhibition of Japan, Akasaki continued perfecting his techniques and has written several instructional books on his art form and opened a school to teach his techniques. The works are truly exceptional.
