This delightful catalog is the product of a special exhibition featuring the traditional heritage and innovative techniques of making paper and art objects of paper. Major emphasis is placed on the historic beginnings of paper in China during the Han Dynasty and the Japanese expansion of the process into manufactured products from fans to textiles. Other sections focus on origami, paper cuts, kites, marbelized paper, and papier-mache. Generously illustrated with a mixture of historical objects and 20th-century creations, this catalog would be a welcome addition to most public libraries.
