A significant work crafted with ancient techniques, modern design, and premium selected papers. 【Handcrafted Hot Stamped Red Envelopes】 Mr. Kuroda, the head of Kuroda Design, has once again seized every opportunity to insist on his principles this year. Utilizing exceptionally thick paper, including Taiwan's most exquisite paper – Crystal Diamond Paper, and imported art paper so substantial that it wouldn't allow a folded paper airplane to fly. Especially now, with airfreight costs rising and some papers out of stock due to raw material shortages, each sheet of paper is exceptionally precious. These substantial art papers even prompted the artisans who form the envelopes, to exclaim while sealing the edges, "Are these red envelopes meant to hold gold bars? They carry such heartfelt sentiment!" "They're so thick, only those who train regularly can fold them." "I'll have to buy a pack myself later!" Wishing you prosperity and fulfillment in the Year of the Horse. May you achieve everything you desire. Three types of art paper: Taiwanese Neutral Crystal Diamond Paper (120g/m2) -- Features extremely fine glitter particles, like countless subtle stardust in the galaxy. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50779017171_2727c17565_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50778253983_85ce47e7f3_b.jpg Japanese Takeo Masako Paper (140g/m2) -- Unique tactile feel, possessing the softness of fabric and the resilience of paper! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53398719291_f9556ab90a_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53399043834_477b86eb10_b.jpg UK Matter/Curious Matter Paper (135g/m2) -- A subtly rough texture, reminiscent of a diffuser stone, with an unglossy, simple, and warm feel. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50778253878_c9d2b8ab7f_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50779128227_c6d4e44e1a_b.jpg 4 types of exclusive foil stamping colors, creating various combinations: Burgundy / Matte Gold / Graphite Black / Flat White Burgundy Bright Foil -- Noble and auspicious, a favorite among elders. Matte Gold -- To attract wealth in the Lunar New Year, remember to include wealth-attracting paper. The various gold foils shimmer with a low-key radiance, transforming their luster with different angles of light. Hot stamping is a traditional craft that requires a precise balance of time, temperature, and pressure. Only masters with decades of experience, intimately familiar with the machinery, can perfectly bring a designer's vision to life. This ancient technique, contrasting with the rapid, large-scale production of modern printing, yields a distinct texture. We are grateful to the masters in Taiwan, who quietly persist in this beautiful, story-rich, and declining yet spirited craft. The paper thickness varies, requiring manual adjustment of the machine's pressure and temperature. Witnessing the master meticulously and carefully confirming the template's position, then swiftly feeding and removing the paper – this action is so rapid, as if tens of thousands are at stake per second, barely allowing time to blink before the next sheet is processed! The scene is too beautiful to behold. (I was so worried about the master's fingers getting caught, but he was so skilled he could even chat with me.) The rhythmic stamping process is incredibly soothing! https://youtube.com/shorts/wXz3lDUoX2Y?feature=share These red envelopes, a culmination of many individuals' dedication, are meticulously handcrafted, from folding and gluing to final assembly. A set that brings joy to the buyer, and even greater joy to the recipient. Produced in limited quantities each year, they are sold out once gone, so early purchase ensures peace of mind!
