Established in 1875, we are one of the Washi paper producing manufacturers in Echizen, Fukui, an area where Washi production has been traditionally taken over as family businesses. Our paper is produced both by hands and machine depending on the size or style, ranges from traditional Japanese architecture use such as Fusuma (wooden slide doors) or wallpapers to artworks. Aside from preserving its handcraft techniques, we have also tried to develop the new concept of Washi paper in cooperation with other industries — hotels, shops, artists or product manufacturers. In these works, we have been trying to combine the traditional techniques and the modern design together.
