"Origami Paper Hokusai Prints" is a new set of folding papers which will add beauty and authenticity to your folded origami models and papercraft projects. The famous Japanese artist, painter, and printmaker, Katsushika Hokusai (1760 - 1849), is best known for his woodblock print series, "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," from which this collection is drawn in part. The beautiful ukiyo-e prints ("pictures of the floating world") chosen for this paper pack boast flowing outlines and colorful forms. This collection features 8 unique, full-color reproductions of woodblock print masterpieces that are complimented by accent colors on the reverse, and are perfect for origami folding, gift wrapping and scrapbooking applications. An 8-page insert with folding instructions is included so that folders can get started right away.
