It can be seen in the work of Sue Lawty and Diana Harrison in the Bite Size exhibition, and shown in my post of 5 November. It can also be seen in the pieces by Harumi Isobe, Masakazu Kobayashi, Hideaki Kizaki, and Shihoko Fukumoto, for example.
Harumi Isobe: Untitled 12 x 23cm
Masakazu Kobayashi: Untitled 25 x 25 x 4cm
Hideaki Kizaki: House As Asian Origin 20 x 23 x 20cm
Shihoko Fukumoto: TOHOKU 28 x 25cm
This last was quite sufficient in itself: a sumptuous small treasure, and then I read in the catalogue that it is made of paper fabric. The pleasurable frisson I felt at that I suppose equates to the delight some folks have in eating a particularly rich dark chocolate.

that last one is astounding
Jude, isn't it wondrous: the catalogue says that 'In ancient Japan, peasants collected plant fibres from the fields and mountainsides then wove them into garments for the family.'
Then goes on to say 'The indigo of this cloth from the colder regions of Japan, was made painstakingly by hand using water from the snow as it melts at the end of the long winter, and charcoal from the cooking stove, and is dyed surprisingly deeply.'
As you say: astounding.
to appreciate all this is to understand so much
