This beautiful pattern features a gorgeous plum blossom on a magenta background. Gold foil accentuates the design making this handmade paper even more stunning. 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. Perfect for book binding because of its strength and glue-ability, it is also excellent used for origami, as collage paper, for crafts, card making, wedding invitations and more. Please note: Given the delicate nature of fine paper, all fine paper purchases are final sale.
