Discover the timeless beauty of Yunjin (云锦) through this exquisite collection of art-inspired greeting cards.
With a history spanning more than 1,600 years, Yunjin originated during the Eastern Jin period of China's Southern Dynasties. Renowned for its luxurious materials, intricate weaving techniques, and magnificent patterns, Yunjin later served as an imperial textile during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.
Its name, meaning "cloud brocade," reflects the luminous beauty of its colors and patterns, which resemble clouds glowing in the sky. Elegant, richly detailed, and visually magnificent, Nanjing Yunjin is considered one of the most brilliant achievements of Chinese silk culture.
This collection draws inspiration from four remarkable Yunjin textile designs from the Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute Museum. High definition printing faithfully reproduces the rich colors and intricate textures of the original textiles, while delicate gold outlines create a subtle embossed effect, bringing depth and dimension to each design.

Let customers speak for us
from 2 reviewsSo happy to find this product! It has a great blend of fine textured handmade Xuan paper and pretty patterned paper! The colour and motifs are just so pretty and unique. Hope will get something different next after finishing this pack 🤩
I very often use African animal images in my papercrafting and like to have a broad collection of items to work with. I ordered the paper and ephemera kits and love both. The muted tones give a dusty, African feel. Looking forward to working with these items.
