About this file
A pattern for letter writers: tiny stamps with perforated edges and small pictures (a sail boat, a mountain at sunrise, seigaiha waves, a plum blossom, a paper plane), round postmarks with wavy cancel lines, strips of airmail edging and little envelopes with striped borders. The stamps are decorative only, with no values, countries or lettering.
Every motif is the same size and turned no more than 12 degrees either way, and the 48 motifs are spaced evenly across the tile and over its edges, so it reads as one even pattern rather than a scatter of stickers. It repeats with no seam at any size.
Seven colourways: Vermilion (朱, red and navy airmail on pale vermilion), Indigo (藍, washi paper and vermilion on deep indigo), Young Bamboo (若竹, deep green and red on pale bamboo), Yamabuki Gold (山吹, umber and red on soft gold), Sakura (桜, rose and navy on blossom pink), Sumi (墨, charcoal and vermilion on warm washi) and Luminous Blue, a modern colourway in bright blue and navy on pale blue.
Each colourway comes as a 2048 px and a 4096 px square PNG tile (sRGB, no transparency), 14 tiles in all. The commercial licence adds an editable SVG tile for every colourway, with the colours set in one style block so you can recolour it in any vector editor.
Also included: origami paper as vector PDFs for A4 and US Letter, seven pages each, one per colourway. Every page holds one 150 mm (5.9 in) square and two 75 mm (2.95 in) squares, printed past the trim line with crop marks to cut on. The squares are full colour edge to edge, so they use plenty of ink; print at 100 % on thin paper.
At 4096 px the tile prints about 35 cm (13.7 in) across at 300 ppi. Use it for pen-pal letters and snail-mail kits, junk journals and scrapbooks, envelope liners, gift wrap and stationery, or as a pattern fill and backdrop.
