fusuma1


I'm redecorating fusuma, Japanese sliding paper door.

It had been very dirty with lots of stains. It's time to put a new paper on.

I had been looking for cool fusuma paper for the doors by visiting stores and checking on internet, however it turned out so hard to find one I like.

Karacho, which is a famous workshop of wood-block printed paper had such a gracious collection, but it was out of my budget. Now I decided to make my own.

I put brown craft paper on first. This paper is not the special for fusuma, so it made lots of wrinkles after I pasted, which makes it look kinda cool.

This is still the basis. I'm gonna keep working on it tomorrow.
