White Blossoms on Black Gold

Japanese Yuzen Paper Images:

Yuzen refers to traditional Japanese patterns and designs that were used in the practice of dyeing fabric to make kimonos.  Today these designs are recreated using the silkscreen process.  Each sheet of Japanese Yuzen paper is silkscreened with 4-5 colors and finished with gold overlays. My sources for paper include: Mulberry Paper and More and The Paper Place.

These examples are a small selection of the papers I work with. If you are interested in particular colors please contact me and I can send samples.
