Handmade in studios around Kyoto, Japan, these beautiful pattern papers have a vibrancy and attention to detail that is second to none. To create a sheet of Chiyogami, each colour is screen printed by hand, most patterns having 4 or 5 colours, some as many as 12. Each sheet must be dried between applications and the next colour registered with fine precision. Despite its light weight this paper is strong and forgiving with good wet strength making it perfect for bookbinding, origami, boxmaking, collage and card making, covering furniture and walls - the creative possibilities are endless. The base sheet is a machine made mixture of Kozo and Sulphite. Handles adhesives well without stretching. Size: 640 x 480mm / 235 x 325mm *Available to special order in a double size sheet: 640 x 960mm / short grain (please enquire about lead-times and delivery charges)
