Our Japanese Yuzen Chiyogami papers are handmade, and hand silk screened using intense colours with gold overlay. They are inspired by patterns on kimono fabrics dating from the Edo period. The paper is made by small pieces making families throughout Japan. It is important to keep alive this fine tradition of papermaking. It is becoming more challenging to make a living as a papermaker due to the decreasing demand for the domestic market and support of small sustainable businesses.
