Misaki Kawai (河井美咲) (born 1978 in Ōkawa, Kagawa, Japan[1][2]) is a Japanese artist. Her work has been shown extensively in the United States.[3] "Her father was an architect and amateur painter and her mother made clothing and puppets" [4] Kawai creates installations out of papier-mâché, wood, fabric, and other low-tech, "crafty" materials like felt, stickers, and yarn.[5] She shuns expertise and uses an anime method called heta-uma that "risks amateur aesthetics by embracing basic expression" [6] Kawai artist book, Blueberry Express, was published by Nieves Press in 2009.[7]
