We are pleased to offer you a superb product of “Kyoto Kurotani Washi” and “Kyoto Wagasa shop Tsujikura”.
High Quality Tsukiyakko “Deep Green”
Deep Green is a Wagasa with a powerful, deep green color like the color of a jewel green jasper, with a Tsukiyakko pattern.
Tsukiyu is a Wagasa with a beautiful contrast of light and dark colors, which is a beautiful joint pattern of one Wagasa as if it were a moonlit night.
≪Kurotani Washi, the home of paper-making in Ayabe, Kyoto
The number of washi craftsmen has continued to decline over time, 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.
