Japanese metallic paper combines the refined character of Japanese washi with gold, silver and other metallic finishes and inclusions. Traditional decorative techniques bring together foil, metallic flakes, threads and printed details, creating papers with subtle shimmer, reflective surfaces and distinctive texture.
The collection includes papers featuring gold and silver foil, metallic flecks, fine threads, textured finishes and metallic detailing, as well as Unryu papers incorporating flowing fibres with metallic elements. Japanese Chiyogami and Yuzen papers may also feature intricate patterns highlighted with gold or silver printing.
Suitable for origami, collage, bookbinding, stationery, card making, invitations, gift wrapping and decorative paper projects, these speciality papers offer a considered balance of natural fibre, pattern and metallic detail.
Drawing on traditional Japanese paper and decorative techniques, the collection brings together papers with varied levels of lustre, texture and metallic character, providing distinctive surfaces for both contemporary and traditional creative work.
