A set of two Japanese fusuma (sliding door) paper sample books, the kind used by interior contractors and paper hangers to show clients the actual materials. Each book contains real, full-size swatches of decorative Japanese paper mounted on stiff pages, not printed reproductions, so the texture, embossing, metallic pigments and sheen can be seen and touched. Ideal for collage, card making, bookbinding, box covering, scrapbooking, gift wrapping, interior mood boards and anyone who loves washi.
