Japanese Decorative Papers

A remarkable collection of Japanese decorative papers forms part of the Japanese Government Gift to Glasgow of 187. The papers feature exquisite patterns, botanical motifs and intricate detail, with a timeless decorative quality that translates beautifully to contemporary products, in particular for gift wrap, calendars, note cards and stationery, these designs offer plenty of scope for further product development.
2028 marks the 150th anniversary of the gift to Glasgow, making this an especially interesting collection for heritage-led and commemorative product opportunities.
