Ms Ishizaki, graduate student at Tokyo Zokei University, will use her award for a two-tiered project. The first stage of her project relates to improving her skill as an artist making prints on handmade Japanese paper (washi). To do so, she will buy equipment for straining washi at home or at school and also, study and do research in Japanese paper-making regions, such as Tosa and Mino. Applying what she learned from this study, Ms Ishizaki then plans to hold an exhibition in Spring 2009, which she believes will be an invaluable experience for expanding her future as an artist. CWAJ members will have the opportunity to meet Ms Ishizaki in person at the October Luncheon and Print Show Opening Night.
