About SUPCHO

SUPCHO is a contemporary art practice in Japan working with mineral pigments on washi to explore color, memory, and time.

Each work is created with mineral pigments bound with nikawa on washi—traditional materials chosen for their longevity, quiet depth, and respect for the natural world.

Layers are built slowly, examined, and sometimes undone, allowing color to settle into the paper rather than sit upon it.

What remains is not simply an image, but a trace—

a record of time, material, and attention.
