Miki Kihara Profile
She completed her Master’s degree in Textile Design at Tama Art University in 2012. Drawing inspiration from experiences in everyday life as well as her extensive travels around the world, she weaves tapestries using a variety of materials. Her work reflects the diverse textile cultures and weaving materials she encountered in different countries, the ways of life of local people and animals, and the many moments she experienced during her journeys. The act of weaving serves as a medium to preserve memories, articulate interpersonal relationships, and communicate intentions or prayers through the creation itself. Her major exhibitions include the solo show “muziki” (2025, Gallery Shirakaba, Kagoshima), “Orange” (2025, Enatsu Gallery, Azabudai), “W” (2024, Iriya Gallery, Iriya), and “Traveling Weaver Meets Chofu and Film” (2023, Chofu City Cultural Center Tazukuri, Chofu).
