Zhen Xian Bao is a traditional Chinese folded paper container used primarily to store sewing and embroidery supplies. Its exact origin is uncertain, but surviving examples and historical accounts indicate that the tradition dates back to at least the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912)
Today, many artists adapt the Zhen Xian Bao into decorative paper art, journals, memory books, wallets, and gift containers while preserving the original folding techniques.
