A note from the artist: "This work looks like it was drawn on really high-quality paper, but it is not paper, but ”vellum" ( is made by tanning the skin of one calf), which is made using a traditional method that is extremely time-consuming in modern times. Nowadays, there are only a limited number of people who can make these materials, making them extremely rare and valuable. This material was not created by myself."
