VERY DELICATE PATTERNS IN JAPANESE CHIYOGAMI

The Chiyogami (also aka Yuzen) is the typical decorative style that we can recognize in some Japanese traditional kimonos or into delicate patterns in greeting cards and stationery with Japanese paper. This decoration was top in the "Edo" period, thanks to an artistic apparel trend named genroku.
Online they are numerous websites where to make a lot of research; here i proposes you my selection of motives and patterns.
