by “SPY x FAMILY” (TV Tokyo, etc.) will have the first broadcast of the second season of TV animation in October. Based on the character Anya’s famous line “Anya likes her peanuts” that appears in the same work, there is a person who reproduced the illustration with powdered peanuts. Kisato, who usually works as a female sand painter and performer, was interviewed by Yorozu News.
Anya spreads her hands with a smile. According to kisato, the powdered peanuts used are oily, unlike sand, so they were lightly ground and fluffed before making.
“If you burn it a little, the color will become darker, and the picture will look better. However, the atelier was filled with the smell of peanut oil. With a wry smile. In her past work, she has experience making works with powdered ingredients such as ground coffee beans, matcha, and tea leaves, and it took about two hours to complete.
Mr. kisato initially said, “I was a very ordinary temporary worker.” Then, in 2012, she learned about the existence of sand art on TV, and the following month she visited an art event and experienced it.
“This is what I wanted to do,” she said that day, running into an art supply store and buying a tracing board and colored sand. “Thanks to sand art, my life changed 180 degrees.” He was self-taught and completely changed his life by touching sand for more than four hours daily. Then, in March 2013, he opened a sand art class at his home atelier. In addition to running the classroom, he also creates videos of sand art and performs live performances at corporate events, weddings, and school.
Currently, kisato posts videos of drawing various characters with sand on YouTube daily. Since the corona sickness has reduced the opportunities to perform in front of the audience, we are also conducting distribution activities.
“When I perform in front of my eyes, I can see the reactions on the spot, which makes me happy as a performer. , It’s very encouraging when I get comments on the video I posted. I want more people to see it and know about it.”
