Chiyogami was first made by Japanese paper makers in the Edo period. (In Japanese, "chiyo" is "thousand generation" and "gami" is "paper.")
Originally printed by woodblock and used to make paper dolls and other home decorations, Chiyogami is still silkscreened by hand today and is used in many creative ways. Also called Yuzen, this lovely decorated paper is made from a mixture of kozo and sulphite and is ideal for a variety of paper crafts and other projects because it is thin and flexible but still strong and durable.
Known for beautiful, vibrant and striking colors, many of today's Chiyogami patterns are based on traditional Japanese designs with symbols that represent beauty, good fortune and long life.
