The process involved in making a paper cutting of one of the torii gates at the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo. This piece was made from a picture I took while visiting in August, 2018 for my solo exhibition in Tokyo.

My name is Mark Yungblut, I'm an artist living in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I learned paper cutting while visiting Japan, and have been practicing this method for 15 years. If you'd like to see more of my work please visit my website, www.japanesepapercutting.com, or follow me on social media:
