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