Handmade in Japan, these precious papers were originally inspired by traditional kimono printing techniques and patterns.
They are printed by hand, one colour at a time onto handmade paper. The stencils are produced from persimmon-dyed kozo and aided by paste and "Kojiro" (soy bean juice), the pigments of the soy-based inks absorb deeply into the fibres of the paper resulting in rich and long-lasting colours.
