Chiyogami is a type of traditional, brightly colored printed paper first developed during the Edo period. Inspired by Japanese patterns, particularly the patterns of high-end Kimono, Japanese printers and silkscreeners created the paper to be used to cover boxes, books, dolls, and other things around the home.
This set of 24 sheets of Chiyogami paper is ideal for making origami, scrapbooking, or decorating. The vivid and vibrant coloring and traditional zen-style patterns stand out with their simplicity and elegance. Each sheet is unique, as the set contains six different patterns, with four different color variations per pattern.
This particular set of Japanese paper contains designs and patterns related to zen, like rippling water, and the traditional Japanese checkerboard pattern. Some of the paper features foil detailing, which shines brightly against the more muted background coloring.
Produced by Kamiiso, a paper manufacturer with a storied history dating back to the early years of the Taisho era, this paper is of the highest quality, and the skill and dedication of the craftsmen is reflected in the quality of the patterns and vibrance of the colors.
