Abstract

Senshi (Chinese folk paper cuttings) are paper handicrafts cut in various shapes with scissors or small knives by Chinese people, usually for decollating their houses or wishing their good luck or good fortune. The cutting patterns have a wide variation from animals to Chinese characters, all of which are considered as good luck charms. This review presents a list of the Chinese paper cutting collection, consisting of the specimens donated mainly by Mr. Hiroshi Asami, Prof. Tatsuhiko Sakurai, and Mr. Saburo Ito to the Nagoya University Museum since 2004. The list contains the pattern, locality, and size of the 1640 specimens.
