Chiyogami
Chiyogami • Yuzen
Chiyogami literally means thousand generations (chiyo) paper (gami). Chiyogami is a highly decorative Japanese paper and is traditionally hand silkscreened onto machine made sheets of mixed kozo and sulphite. These complex patterns are based on traditional Japanese designs, many of which are symbolic: butterflies for joy; cranes for longevity and good fortune; bamboo for flexibility; plum blossoms "Ume" for luck; and swallows for fertility. The vibrant pigment colours, careful registration of screens, extensive range of patterns and their archival qualities make these papers ideal for invitations, cardmaking, envelope liners, wall art, book binding, origami, découpage, jewellery and so much more!
Our authentic Chiyogami papers are made in Japan by artisans and are also known as Yuzen or Washi paper.
