Sachie Murakami
We are pleased to welcome Sachie Murakami to the Pop up space for the month of June. Sachie is a graphic web designer, artist and mother of three who lives in Richmond, BC.
Sachie specializes in the art of making a traditional Japanese craft using colourful paper cords called Mizuhiki. Sachie has become passionate about Mizuhiki over that last several years and describes making the designs as one of her most calming moments of the day and feels like meditation.
Mizuhiki is a traditional craft that has been deeply rooted in Japanese culture and customs for over 1,200 years. Mizuhiki is a colourful decorative cord made from washi (ancient Japanese paper). Knotted in various ways, it is used as decoration in traditional ceremonies such as births, weddings, longevity celebrations, and festivals.
Sachie’s collection includes framed art, greeting cards, accessories, jewelry and ornaments.
Join us for Doors Open on Sunday June 7 th from 1 -3pm and see Sachie demonstrating the Awaji knot, which is one of the most basic knots, and the Ume knot, which is used for display frames, earrings, and hair accessories. These knots are commonly used and are also introduced in the workshops at the Nikkei Center in Burnaby.
