Chiyogami, or 'Paper of a Thousand Generations', is a type of washi paper that was made popular during the Edo period. Traditionally it has been used in crafting paper objects, with dolls and origami fans being the most popular due to the catching visual patterns. Recent examples are commonly printed using modern techniques, and lack the artisanal charm of these original old prints.
