Product Description:

This is Japanese chiyogami paper. There are 4 colors/patterns.

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!

This paper is perfect for scrapbooking, card making, origami, collage or any project you can think of!

They measure 15 x 15 cm.
There are:
8 red (with white and blue flowers) sheets
5 pale pink (with cherry blossoms) sheets
10 white sheets
8 red (with white cherry blossoms) sheets

Total of 31 sheets.
