Their intricate construction combines practical storage with decorative paper folding and represents a distinctive aspect of Chinese folk craft and textile culture.
A particularly interesting title for collectors and enthusiasts of Chinese folk art, traditional crafts, paper arts, book arts, textiles, embroidery and cultural history.
