Chinese Opera

These rich images are authentic Chinese hand cut and colored paper. Paper cutting is a very distinctive Chinese folk art. The tools are scissors and an engraving knife used on very thin rice paper. Skilled crafts people are remarkably good at cutting the themes of daily life. Chinese Opera showcases figures of the Chinese or Peking opera in stunning color. Piano hinged binding holds the pages together and when placed in matching case the book hangs from the bamboo sticks. Chinese Opera is 4.5” x 5.5”. Edition of 22.
