Kyo-Wall Paper -Kotogasumi-

Karakami is a traditional Japanese decorative paper made using a technique similar to woodblock printing, created with wooden blocks carved with a variety of patterns.

Traditionally used as fusuma (sliding door) paper to enhance Japanese interiors, karakami is now also widely used in modern spaces as wallpaper, architectural elements, and lampshades.

[Meaning of the Pattern]

This pattern is known as Kō-gasumi, referring to a mist motif resembling the katakana character "コ" (kō). In this version, the design is rendered with even longer, more graceful lines resembling the strings of a koto (Japanese harp). An elegant example of this motif can be seen in the decorative pages of the Heike Nōkyō (a National Treasure).
