“Kurotani Washi, the home of paper-making in Ayabe, Kyoto”
The number of washi craftsmen has been decreasing with the changing times, and is now in the single digits.
However, the number of craftsmen is relatively young, mainly in their 30s and 40s, and the production area is very active.
While preserving the traditional “handmade paper” technique that has continued for more than 800 years, the production area is also strengthening the development of new products and the production area’s brand.
