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 silk screened. This beautiful pattern features dramatic blues and whites silk-screened on handmade Japanese paper. Perfect for book binding because of it's strength and glue ability, it is also excellent for origami, collage paper, crafts, card making, wedding invitations and more. Please note: Given the delicate nature of fine paper, all flat paper purchases are final sale.
