Green Butterfly -Leather and Silk Sculpture by Haruka Miyamoto
Green Butterfly is an intimate sculpture by Haruka Miyamoto, crafted with remarkable precision from leather and silk. The wings reveal subtle gradations of deep green and bronze, catching the light with a quiet iridescence. Although small in scale, the butterfly carries a strong sense of presence, as if paused mid-flight.
Miyamoto’s expertise in delicate, hand-formed creatures has been recognized internationally. Earlier in her career, she was commissioned to create the butterflies that adorned Cinderella’s gown in Disney’s live-action film Cinderella—a milestone that affirmed her mastery of sculptural textile work. The same sensitivity and craftsmanship resonate in this piece.
On the underside of the wing, the butterfly is discreetly signed by the artist, reinforcing its uniqueness and collectability.
Standing lightly on its removable pin, the sculpture evokes the poise of natural specimens while remaining unmistakably a work of art.
Each piece is an original, hand-crafted artwork.
