With Remarkable Precision, Lito Cuts Playful Compositions from Single Leaves

From delicate, single leaves, Lito conjures meticulously detailed and playful compositions. The Japanese artist began applying paper-cutting techniques to leaves in 2020 as a way to navigate his ADHD and concentrate on something constructive and uplifting. His work quickly went viral on social media, and he has been creating tiny, often humorous narratives that focus on animals and cartoonish characters ever since.

If you’re in Fukushima, you can stop by a entire museum dedicated to Lito’s unique pieces. Explore more work on his website and Instagram.
