About this print,
Kyokarakami is a traditional decorative paper that has been produced in Kyoto since the Imperial Court era. It is printed using woodblocks and natural pigments. Its origins lie in “Karakami,” a decorative paper introduced from China’s Tang Dynasty during the Imperial Court era. It flourished during the Edo period, when it was used for wallpaper, among other things, but by the modern era, only one workshop remained that carried on the tradition. 
Although this cover bears a printed official title page, it is not held in any other collection, and the circumstances of its publication remain unknown.

About our store
We offer a fine selection of beautiful woodcut books, design books and woodblock prints made in Japan. Many of our books were used as reference materials for Japanese industrial design some 150-50 years ago. Their designs are surprisingly unique and beautiful, and seem to compare favourably or even surpass contemporary designs. We hope that our design books will be used in contemporary design.
Woodblock printing as a printing technique is also amazingly precise, but at the same time offers a unique and beautiful texture.
We hope you enjoy our collection of Eirando Books.
