Japanese Papercut


Ever since the trip last year to Manchester Art Gallery's fantastic exhibit The First Cut, I've had a more active interest in paper as a medium in its own right. 
This Japanese inspired lady, is perhaps a Geisha due to the way her hair is worn and particularly the Kanzashi, usually flowers attached to combs or hair pins for decoration.
