Material information
Washi paper has been a familiar part of Japanese life since ancient times. It was once used for calligraphy, shoji screens, and sliding doors, making it a familiar sight, but as times have changed, opportunities to see it have become less common. However, Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, has continued to preserve its 1,500-year-old tradition of hand-made washi paper using the same raw materials and tools as back then. Hand-made washi paper is made from plants unique to Japan, such as mitsumata, kozo, and gampi, and because each sheet is made by hand, no two are alike.
Precautions
・Because each item is handmade, the pattern and color may vary from piece to piece. Color unevenness and slight dents may occur, but please understand that this is a characteristic of handmade items. Also, slight variations in color and texture may occur depending on the photography and display conditions. ・Because the paper is dyed after it is made, the unevenness of the pattern creates natural shading. Even with the same color or pattern, color variations and unevenness may occur depending on the cutting location and individual item. ・Because the surface is pigmented, please be aware that rubbing may result in color transfer to other items. ・Because washi paper is made from natural ingredients, plant bark, fiber, and oils may be visible. This does not affect product use. ・Be careful not to get it wet, as it may cause the washi paper to peel. ・Do not place near fire. ・Do not use in humid places, direct sunlight, near air conditioners or heaters, or in dusty places. ・This product is made of precision components.
