In Japanese chigiri-e, torn pieces of colorful washi paper are formed into intricate works resembling beautiful watercolor collages. Join us for a look at this fascinating art form.

This event is co-sponsored by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. It is held in conjunction with the Museum's Focus Gallery exhibit Following the Paper Trail from China to the World. The exhibit is co-sponsored by the UI Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies and a gift in memoriam of Dr. Yuen Tze Lo by his wife Sara de Mundo Lo.
