Ann Herring chronicles the intricate woodblock and stencil techniques used by master artisans to produce these brilliantly patterned sheets, illuminating the cultural and aesthetic values embedded in each design. The tone is both reverent and authoritative, treating chiyogami not merely as craft material but as a living art form deeply intertwined with Japanese ceremony, gift-giving, and daily life. Herring details the regional variations in pattern and production, illustrating how distinct schools and workshops developed their own visual vocabularies over centuries. An essential reference for collectors, paper artists, and enthusiasts of Japanese decorative arts, this volume stands as a comprehensive and visually inspiring guide to one of Japan's most beloved artistic traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887872880859,"sku":"2026200007687-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2c531988-cc0e-45b1-9911-08a6bd2aa370.png?v=1781747235","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007687-secondhand-the-world-of-chiyogami-hand-printed-patterned-papers-of-japan","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
