- Summary:
- Chiyogami designs were originally developed in the Edo period as woodblock prints. The decorative papers were made into colorful paper dolls or pasted on tea tins or small paper boxes. In the twentieth century, these patterns began to be applied using silkscreens and this continues today. Henry Morris founded Bird & Bull Press in 1958, where he has published numerous studies on paper marbling. This is his seventh volume. The volumes are especially useful because of the striking samples of hand-marbled papers tipped into each copy.
