The art of Japanese paper

The art of Japanese paper

To the Japanese, paper is far more than the material medium used by Westerners.
For them, its purity symbolises the religious offering, and respect for gods and men. Cut out or folded, it extends the code of speech and gesture.
While the Japanese place great importance upon "the idea or the beautiful", paper also plays a purely utilitarian role, in the form of lanterns, parasols, fans, wrapping paper, or playthings such kites, dolls and origami.
As a result, the craftsman who fashions it draws attention to the sensuality of its feel, its delicate fragrance and varied hues.
A unique and comprehensive book, lavishly illustrated with over 260 colour photographs.
