I want you to remember through this experience...about washi paper
We live in a very convenient world today, where we can easily and quickly obtain all kinds of information from data that is accumulated, but we tend to forget that we live in harmony with nature.
I hope that through various experiences related to handmade washi paper, people will remember the way our ancestors lived, quietly and slowly gaining information and wisdom from nature.
We hold unique workshops from time to time. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
