Beschreibung

Unpaginated. Presented in a slipcase. Actually undated - circa 1990. This binds a series ten paper cuts from Shaaxi Province.

Only light rubbing on the book; some wear around the edges of the slipcase. Paper-cut is a very distinctive visual art of Chinese handicrafts. It originated from the 6th century when women used to paste golden and silver foil cuttings onto their hair at the temples, and men used them in sacred rituals. Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows. After hundreds of years' development, now they have become a very popular means of decoration among country folk, especially women. Size: 4to. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 221833
