Pang Xin Yi is a culturally inspired Tsumami Zaiku Trainer at Palette Japan Asia, certified at the Advanced Level, and drawn to this ancient Japanese craft through a profound appreciation for its zero-waste philosophy and its traditional use of leftover fabric. Aligned to her values of mindful living, conscious creativity and deep respect for cultural heritage, this craft is a meaningful bridge between preservation and purpose.    

 

Through her journey with this art form, she continues to deepen her understanding of Japanese culture while championing the values of sustainability and mindfulness that make Tsumami Zaiku so relevant in today's world. What makes Xin Yi's creative work truly distinctive is the way she infuses her work with the rich cultural narratives of both Chinese and Singaporean heritage, crafting pieces that are not merely beautiful, but symbolic.  Behind each creation she makes is a story about our unique cultures and Singapore stories.
