Beautiful Japanese Chiyogami Washi Paper Set by FromJapanWithLove
Japanese chiyogami washi paper is silkscreened by hand with vibrant colors. Chiyogami paper 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!
They measure 6 x 6 cm or 2.4 x 2.4 inches.There are 40 sheets in total - 20 plain colored and 20 with a pattern.
This paper is perfect for scrapbooking, card making, origami, collage or any project you can think of!
