Hole (Shozo Shimamoto)

When Shimamoto was poor, he could not afford to buy canvas. As a substitute, he came up with the idea of using newspaper glued together and named it the paper-vas. Since it was made of paper, so fragile that holes would appear in some places when he was writing. There has never been a work with holes in it, and Shimamoto's paintings with holes were highly praised by Jiro Yoshihara.
