This is a stylish collage using Japanese calligraphy paper (hanshi).

You’ll need drawing paper, hanshi, scissors, glue, and paints or colored pencils.

First, paint the hanshi with various colors.

Be careful not to use too much water, as the hanshi can tear.

After it’s thoroughly dry, trim off the margins and cut out leaf shapes.

Then glue the leaves onto tree branches you’ve drawn on the drawing paper.

The marbled coloring creates a unique, beautiful texture that really catches the eye—perfect for brightening up Respect for the Aged Day as a striking wall decoration!
