Karakami is a decorative Japanese paper used to ornament interior sliding doors during the Edo period. Woodblock-
printed motifs, such as cherry blossoms and dragons, are said to have inspired several prominent European artists in
the 19th century. This program examines the history of karakami through the work of a family in Kyoto that has
preserved this traditional art form for nearly 400 years.
