Sekkazome Kaleidoscope Paper

• Mulberry paper is accordion pleated in the fold-dying technique used to decorate this whimsical, kaleidoscopic patterned paper. Sekkazome means literally "snow flower or snow flake dyeing" in Japanese, as the resulting pattern resembles snowflakes.
• The paper is specially folded and then dip-dyed using finger pressure to control the dye absorbtion to create the designs. Traditionally this method was used to dye fabric but has been adapted for paper.
• Machine made and hand decorated in Thailand. 2 deckled edges with a 35 gsm weight.
