Washi paper, a traditional Japanese handmade paper, is crafted from natural fibres such as mulberry bark, mitsumata, or gampi shrubs. Thanks to the unique blend of fibres used in its creation, each piece of washi paper carries its own distinctive texture and character, making it truly one of a kind and perfect for artistic expression.
