Paper cutting started in the 6th century in China. 2-3 centuries later, papercutting were found in West Asia, and by the time it was 16th century, we could find them in Turkey also. Add another 100 years, and the art of paper cutting had migrated to middle Europe, where it has been very popular ever since. Now you can find paper cutting everywhere. To me, paper cuttings have a mist of nostalgie about it, and yes, remind me of old fashioned German ‘gemutlichkeit’.
