Chigirie

Try your hand at the fascinating Japanese art form of chigirie.

Dating back to the Heian period, this technique involves tearing and cutting handmade paper to create images that resemble watercolor paintings.

While Japanese originally created works that combined chigirie and calligraphy, washi paper alone can produce striking artworks.
