There is no age limit when it comes to art.

In Japan, a 90-year-old Japanese grandma named Setsu has been creating paper collages from torn newspapers since January 2019.

Chigiri-e, which means torn paper collage, is a Japanese art form that uses traditional Japanese ‘washi’ paper to create either realistic images or abstract art. 

Talented grandma 

According to Setsu’s illustrator granddaughter Kimura Iko, her grandmother’s long-term partner passed away in November 2018.

As a way to help her grandmother cope with the loss of her partner, the family suggested she pick up newspaper torn paper collage to occupy herself while keeping her mind active, reported FNN Prime.

Setsu took the Japanese internet by storm two months later when Kimura uploaded photos of her art pieces on Twitter.

Here are some of Setsu’s works:
