The Japanese have long used colorfully printed papers to decorate anything from boxes to walls. This traditional paper craft is known as washi. Washi paper is made by hand from the fibrous bark of three indigenous plants. It is known for its strength, durability, and flexibility, and is available in a rich array of colors, textures, weights, and patterns. Elements of Japan's great textile tradition are reflected in its cultural motifs (such as kimonos, fans, and kabuki actors), as well as in its classic designs from nature (such as flowers, bamboo, and cranes). Wonderful Ways with Washi contains 17 creative designs for decorating commonly available objects such as milk cartons, boxes, and eggs -- for use in home decor, as gifts, or for special occasions. The book includes step-by-step diagrams, color photographs of the finished projects, and imaginative ways to display the finished crafts. The projects include a Kosheshi doll, a cherry blossom box, a crane pen and pencil holder, obi wall hangings, magnets, and ornaments, plus many more.
