Jumon

Jumon is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.

Japanese artist Jumon made delicate fan-shaped watercolors, folding the page like a handheld screen. Their work Eventail plié folds a scene into a fan’s ribs, painting bamboo skeletons and misty willows that peek through the pleats. See how the creases guide your eye—like a quiet poem on paper. Next, unfold another watercolor in the bundle to trace the folds yourself.
