Traditional Japanese plasterers use only a trowel to apply mixture of lime, seaweed glue, and hemp. In the late 1800s, they started using these techniques to create plaster murals known as kote-e, on exterior walls. Originally talismans to protect homes from fire and bad fortune, today they are considered art. Contemporary plaster artist Jingo creates his unique 3-dimensional works in pure white plaster that seem to pop out from the wall, and kote-e is seeing a revival in popularity, with exhibits and contests now held nationwide.
