AWA-WASHI

Tokushima

Sturdy and warm texture brought about by handmade washi paper

We will hold an exhibition-sale of washi paper and washi paper sundries. In addition to beautiful indigo-dyed washi paper made using Tokushima Prefecture's natural sukumo indigo, washi paper with profound taste unique to handmade paper-watermarked or mixed with hemp or wood chips-will be on display. At the workshop, we will make a watojibon (book bound in Japanese style) using Awa washi paper.
