Usagi (rabbit)

Usagi, named after the Japanese word for rabbit, was born out of artist Nami Yamamoto’s desire to make a gift for a co-worker's newborn. While primarily a drawing and installation artist, Yamamoto also enjoys sewing and practices the Japanese concept of “Mottainai” or “waste not, want not.” Through this sustainable process, the artist utilizes fabric scraps from other sewing projects to create these charming stuffed animals.
