The Art of Japanese Paper

ISBN:

Pages : 232
Book Description
To the Japanese, paper is far more than the material medium used by Westerners. For them, its purity symbolises the religious offering, and respect for gods and men. Cut out or folded, it extends the code of speech and gesture. Paper also plays a purely utilitarian role, in the form of lanterns, parasols, fans, wrapping paper, or playthings such kites, dolls and origami.
