How to say "collage" in Japanese

• コラージュCommon
  nounThe everyday word for collage as an art technique or artwork, covering works assembled from paper, photographs, and other materials; the usual choice in most contexts.
• 貼り絵はりえ
  nounA picture made by pasting pieces of paper, cloth, or similar materials onto a surface; it carries a handcrafted nuance and is less common than the loanword コラージュ.
• 切り紙絵きりかみえ
  nounReally a cutout picture made of cut paper; it fits 'collage' only when the work is assembled from cut-paper pieces, and is seldom the word you want for collage in general.
• 貼り込みはりこみ
  nounMeans paste-up: pasting elements onto a layout in graphic design and print production; for 'collage' it suits only that production sense, and it is seldom the word for artistic collage.

Use 「コラージュ」 for collage in general; 「貼り絵」 for pictures made by pasting paper or similar materials; 「切り紙絵」 only for cut-paper pictures; 「貼り込み」 only for paste-up in graphic design and print production.
