Description
Chiyogami 285 Navy Leaves
This beautiful patterned Japanese Chiyogami paper is hand-printed using the silkscreen method. In this laborious process, each color is applied using a separate screen. Sometimes as many as 12 colours, including gold or other metallic colors, may be used to create a single pattern.
This chiyogami pattern features stylized leaves with a simple, elongated shape with a pointed tip on a deep navy blue background. The leaves are in shades of green, brown, and golden yellow. The leaves are arranged in a dense, overlapping pattern that covers the entire surface. They are oriented in different directions, creating a sense of movement and energy. The pattern has a modern, graphic feel. The bold colors and simple shapes create a striking visual impact.
Often inspired by textile and kimono patterns which include symbolic and seasonal motifs, designers of chiyogami continue to expand the options to ever-new heights. Cranes for longevity, bamboo for flexibility, cherry blossoms for the fleeting nature of life, and pine boughs for perseverance are a few of the hundreds of symbols printed in endless colours and combinations.
