Paper Samurai

Abandoned as a baby, Sanghwa is adopted by an old blind man living as a hermit in the mountains of South Korea. Yoshigawa, his guardian and teacher is a well traveled doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and a devout Taoist. As Sanghwa grows up using his sight for the benefit of two people, he develops a unique sense of perception. This perception manifests in his drawings and paintings. When his talents are recognised by a wealthy collector, he gets the opportunity to travel the world giving substance to his mentor's teachings. Through England and France, Morocco, South Africa, and the United States, the young artist's journey of self realization highlights humanity's creative potential. Sanghwa's story reveals how we, as creators, are all part of every color on this beautiful palette.
