Japanese Chiyogami and Katazome-shi Paper
Elegant, ageless beauty of extraordinary Chiyogami and Katazome-shi papers grace the pages of these Hypatia Storytellers & case bindings.
This exceptional Japanese paper is made in a precise and laborious process of stenciling and resist dying based on traditional kimono-printing techniques using persimmon-dyed kozo as the stencils and a highly skillful process that produces striking beauty in long-lasting color and the unmistakable look of a print truly made by an adept hand.
The color, quality and beauty of these papers always take my breath away!
Handmade Lokta Paper
Beautiful handmade lokta paper from Nepal is one of the primary papers used in Hypatia Storytellers. Lokta is produced using bark from the daphne shrub, a cousin to the laurel and the rhododendron.
Lokta is very eco-friendly, as the plant regenerates quickly and is one of the few under-utilized plant resources in the world. Each lokta sheet is made by hand and celebrates its “wabi sabi” beauty.
Delightful to write, paint and glue on, it is incredibly strong and flexible. All of the handmade pages of the Hypatia Storytellers can also be used, in addition to the archival plain page soft white paper in between each decorative sheet!
Natural Raw Leather
Rugged, Durable and Classic. This soft orange natural leather has a glovey, plump feel with a natural pebbley look. Both elegant and rustic.
Natural leather develops a rich patina over time and may darken, soften, and develop color variations.
Each scratch, scuff, and crease tells a story, adding depth and personality to the leather’s surface.
When desired or needed, “Leather CPR” (easily purchased through Amazon) can be massaged into the leather to restore its moisture and erase scratches.
