Description
This is chiyogami Japanese paper. There are 2 colors blue with white dots and green with white dots.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Chiyogami has a long past but today the decorative patterns are silkscreened onto machinemade sheets of paper that is a mix of kozo ( a deciduous tree indigenous to Shikoku and Kyushu Islands in Japan) and sulphite (sulphite is used to keep the price reasonable). To create 1 piece of gorgeous chiyogami, a sheet of paper is silkscreened by hand with each individual color. Between applications of color, the sheets are dried on racks. You can imagine how time consuming and difficult it must be to line up each color in relation to the pattern!
<br />
<br />This paper is perfect for scrapbooking, card making, origami, collage or any project you can think of!
<br />
<br />They measure 15 x 15 cm.
<br />There are:
<br />10blue sheets
<br />10 green sheets
<br />Total of 20 sheets
