Echizen washi tapestry with selvedge edges (2 colors)
Product description
This item allows you to experience the traditional hand-made techniques of Echizen washi paper, meticulously crafted by artisans one sheet at a time. The paper's four edges, with its textured edges, are proof that artisans painstakingly crafted each sheet on a wooden frame, typically used for crafting paper of this size. It comes with a magnetic wooden binding holder, making it a decorative piece. Because it's handmade, no two pieces are alike, and the textured pattern reveals a variety of different expressions depending on the angle of the light. The combination of shesay's washi paper, which continues to preserve 1,500 years of tradition and uses the same raw materials and tools as back then, and shesay's products brings a breath of fresh air to the brand. The motifs on the washi paper are from shesay's most popular items. Shesay's long-loved items and Echizen washi paper, which continues to preserve its long-standing tradition, were created with the hope that shesay's products will grow into items that are just as beloved and timeless.
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.
