The design
The simplicity of this print give it a charm of it’s own. Using just one colour, gold, on the sheet of paper the talented Japanese chiyogami printers create a delicate pattern perfect for a simple lampshade. Cherry blossom symbolises beauty and the fragility of life in Japanese culture.
Chiyogami is hand silkscreened paper from Japan, hand made using traditional techniques. Japanese paper makers are renowned for their centuries-old tradition of meticulous craftsmanship and aesthetics.
