"Traditional Crafts, Japanese Paper (World Intangible Cultural Property) "

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] April 9, 2015 14:00

Last November, UNESCO registered "Washi Japanese Handmade Washi Technology" with Intangible Cultural Property.
"Washi" washi, a long-established Ozu Washi that has been around for more than 360 years at Nihonbashi Honmachi 3-chome.
I'm from Ise Matsuzaka.

Originally, I was interested in "Matsuzaka and Omi merchants" related to many long-established stores in Nihonbashi, and I was invited by the cheerful spring weather.
I went bravely. On the first floor of the store, there are a lot of Japanese paper with very calm colors.

Iwami Hanshi (Hamada City, Shimane Prefecture) and Hon Mino Paper (Mino City, Gifu Prefecture) registered in the World Intangible Cultural Property.
In addition to the three Japanese paper "Hosokawa Paper" (Ogawa-cho, Saitama-ken, Higashi-Chichibu-mura), Japanese calligraphy tools are available.

There is also a handmade Japanese paper experience workshop on the first floor, so it seems that you can experience making A4 size paper.

The second floor will be a gallery and cultural classroom, and the third floor will be renewed in early May at the Ozu Historical Museum and Ozu Washi Teruran (free of charge).
I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm thinking about making New Year's cards next year.

If you look at the side of the road, a monument of "The origin of Bettara City" is built.
