Cutting sheet® has been used actively in various scenes such as display, show window, interior decoration, and shop sign. In the collaboration with Nakagawa Chemical Co., Ltd., the creator of cutting sheet®, we have developed a tilted cutting sheet®. Nakagawa Chemical has developed various new cutting sheets®, but this one is revolutionary and raised Japanese tradition and culture to a new stage. One of the huge innovations of this cutting sheet® is that you can put on any material. Normally the leaf paper needs glue to stick to the object. Therefore, if the object is non-absorbing material, the cutting sheet® will not stick because the glue does not get dry. But since tilted cutting sheet® is originally sticky, it becomes possible to paste on variety of materials such as a glass or a pottery. And the film is transparent, it is possible to enjoy patterns on the material from the front or even on the back. Furthermore, since the sheet is very thin, it picks up the texture of the base. It is also the unique point of this cutting sheet®. The sheet will stretch by heat, so it can be applied to spherical surfaces and complex three-dimensional objects. There is the technology of Rekiseisha to make a sheet of leaf paper which is not discolored easily, and the utility of cutting sheet® of Nakagawa Chemical. It is the product that brings new possibilities to the interior and design fields only because those technology has come together.
