Japanese Creations is a Japanese arts and crafts experience creator offering unique
Japanese crafts and courses. With all materials hand-selected in Japan to assure
authenticity, Japanese Creations shares traditional Japanese heritage through
treasured crafts.
Chigiri-e is a Japanese-style paper collage created using hand-dyed Washi paper to
create realistic or abstract images that are traditionally used in greeting cards or other
modern-day crafts, such as scrapbooking. The layering and soft textures of Washi
paper look similar to watercolor painting, but the Washi paper fibers also add edge,
texture and depth that watercolors cannot achieve.
Ranging from $24 to $32, Japanese Creations offers Chigiri-e kits that are perfect for
card making, scrapbooking, décor and gift giving! Also available is an online Chigiri-e
course, which offers multiple Chigiri-e techniques across a variety of projects.
We are giving two Craftgossip.com readers holiday Chigiri-e kits!

Japanese Creations also offers courses in the Etegami craft, a colorful folk art
consisting of Sumi ink drawings, Gansai paints and sentiments; as well as Chirimen, a
centuries-old art that transforms Shibo kimono fabric into exquisite, hand-sewn pouches and ornaments.
