Paper cutting (or JianZhi in Chinese) is a unique and ancient chinese art form. In ancient times, using paper for artistic or entertainment purposes was only reserved to royalty. Though the tools used for paper cutting are quite simple – paper and a cutting knife – the mastery of the art is another story. The artist must hold the knife upright and maintain a certain pressure to cut the paper without hesitating. The fact that paper cuts are a single colour, only adds to the charm of these pieces. You will be amazed at the life-like scenes that can be obtained using the artists imagination and skill. Paper cuts can be used to decorate windows, mirrors, tables, lamps framed and used as wall mounted art. Each piece is a carefully crafted work of art!
