I use Bingata technique which is origined and developed in Okinawa, Japan. It is used since 14th century. 'Bin' means 'colours' and 'Kata' means 'pattern' in Okinawa.It has warmth and richness of hand work. Although it takes time, I enjoy doing each process and feel like printing a bit of my soul to each pieces.
