These fine-quality tear-out sheets feature 12 prints inspired by Japanese Washi paper designs—a type of traditional handmade paper. In Japanese, wa means 'Japanese' and shi means 'paper.'

The variety of designs means they are useful for any occasion—whether a holiday, birthday, anniversary or "just because." An introduction details the history and meaning behind the designs, giving you a better idea of their origin. Some wrapping ideas are also provided for inspiration to maximize your creativity. This book includes: 12 sheets of 18 x 24 inch (45 x 61 cm) tear-out paper 12 unique patterns Perforations so the papers are easy to tear out Wrapping tips & tricks The tradition of gift wrapping originated in Asia, with the first documented use in China in the 2nd century BC. Japanese furoshiki, reusable wrapping cloth, is still in use four centuries after it was first created. Gift wrapping is one custom that has prevailed through the ages and across the world—it should be special for both the gift giver and recipient. Review: Exactly as pictured! - Beautiful designs and great quality! I used them for scrapbooking. Review: Great product...if the correct one is sent! - I have bought this paper before and I love it. Unfortunately, this time I was sent a pair of Saboten japanese harvesting snips scissors. So, yeah... Not what I expected or needed for wrapping the gift I'm giving the day after tomorrow.

Great set of gift wrap!
I really like this gift wrap set. Good variety. Posting photos, as the item description shows only 4 of the designs. Note: the wrapping paper is bound into a booklet, but it is not difficult to remove them without tearing them. Sheets are small (18" x 24") and medium weight paper. Recommend!

High quality wrapping paper
They come folded into quarters (in half both lengthwise and widthwise), which is a bit of a shame, but I knew that before ordering. The graphics are beautiful and the paper is more durable than most wrapping paper that comes on rolls from the department stores. They measure about 18⅛ x 24 inches.

Los diseños son hermosos y de buena calidad, aunque vienen doblados por estar dentro del libro estos dobleces son imperceptibles.

Washi Paper Pack
Excellent range of patterns that I used to cover my hand made Japanese themed stab bound photo book, good value for the number of patterns in this pack and of good quality both in print accuracy and paper thickness for my use.
