All of the colors in the work come from the original colors of the Japanese paper. This allows you to enjoy the gentle colors and texture unique to Japanese paper.

The tail is made from paper string. [Ox (cow)] A cute black and white Holstein pattern. The black spots are also colored with washi paper. [Tiger] The distinctive striped pattern is made by pasting cut black Japanese paper onto the board. [U (Rabbit)] By layering and coloring several different types of washi paper, including cream colored ones, we were able to create a finish with gentle colors and textures.
