Yuzen Koi Fish on Handmade Pool Blue Kozo Paper

Japanese decorative papers reflect the superb craftsmanship, design sensibilities and rich variety of the Edo Period (1630 - 1868). Chiyogami papers are characteristically small dense patterns that were originally wood block prints but are now typically silkscreened. Luscious, vibrantly-colored Chiyogami papers are hand-printed using the silk-screen technique. In this laborious process each color is applied using a separate screen. Sometimes as many as 12 colors, including gold or other metallics, may be used to create a single pattern. Perfect for gift wrap, origami or other paper crafts! Made in Japan. Shipped rolled in a cardboard tube to avoid folding or tears.
