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. These delicate fans in gold, navy and wine are silkscreened in Japan on handmade Kozo paper. This fine paper is ideally suited for bookbinding because of its strength and glueability. It is also excellent for origami, collage paper crafts, lampshades and card making.
