Spirited Away

Spirited Away

This piece was inspired by Spirited Away and the atmospheric mountain town of Jiufen, Taiwan—a place whose glowing lanterns, narrow lanes, teahouses, and misty hills have long reminded visitors of the film's magical world.

My Taiwan ikebana postcards are miniature reproductions of original mixed-media artwork combining living floral arrangements, watercolor, and photography.

The flowers and plants featured in each piece were sourced from flower farms in Taiwan. As a third-generation ikebana artist in my family, I've always been fascinated by the challenge of preserving living art. An arrangement may exist for only three to six days; these postcards capture something that otherwise disappears.

Each piece is printed on luxurious 285gsm metallic etching paper, giving the artwork subtle pearlescent, metallic, and iridescent effects. Its lightly textured surface is reminiscent of traditional fine-art papers used in intaglio printmaking and is particularly beautiful for reproducing paintings, drawings, and photographic artwork.

Mail it, frame it, or keep it as a tiny piece of Taiwan-inspired art.
