These wonderfully decorative patterns on paper, known as Chiyogami, are silk screened onto machine made sheets of mixed kozo and sulphite. They are more popularly known as Yuzen in the United States.
Originally, Chiyogami designs were developed in the Edo period as woodblock prints by papermakers during the farming season for use as accessories in the house to enliven the interiors. They were based on the bright kimono textiles which the papermakers from the countryside saw on the fashionable wealthier ladies in the larger cities, especially in Kyoto, where the area known as Yuzen had become famous for its sophisticated techniques for dyeing cloth.
I present to you a Yuzen truly worthy to be called an Emperor. This is one more example of the work done by Marla (Cricket), Marla I thank you for this blank, I've spent most of last night looking for the seam on both barrels and still haven't found them..
