Osaka Paper Crafts
Osaka Paper Crafts (Osaka-style Paper Craft)
Introduction: The paper crafts of Osaka (similar to papercraft) have a history spanning over 400 years. To make these crafts, multiple layers of Japanese paper are pasted onto a frame, which is then left to dry. Once dried, the piece is removed from the wooden frame and painted. There are paper tigers, daruma dolls, masks, and many other works. Among them, the paper tiger is the most popular amulet, believed to ward off evil, prevent disasters, and bring good luck.
Available at the souvenir shop inside Osaka Castle’s keep.
