Kazuaki Sogi

Born in Osaka in 1977. Currently visiting at a workshop in Habikino, Osaka, and a once-a-week member of the Nanairo Circus Troupe, based in Oji, Nara.

Members of the Nanairo Circus Troupe go out into the forest in the morning to farm and take care of animals. Kazuaki Sogi is known for his love of insects,so he goes to the woods with his catching net. He would find centipedes and other bugs under fallen trees, and capture them gently with his bare hands to observe them, then he returns them to the forest.

Sogi has been a paper-cutout artist for more than 30 years, starting when he was 11 years old. His creations include imaginary creatures, like the XYZ-saurus, a fusion of insect and dinosaur. He creates his cutouts from an A4-size paper working 3 or 4 hours on each.

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
