Here is the previous article of Haibara, a long-established Japanese paper shop in Nihonbashi.

We handle a wide range of paper products from Japanese paper and Japanese paper accessories to stationery and letter sets.
This time, I would like to introduce you to Mr.
However, I can't tell you at least once, so I'll introduce it in two parts.
This time, I also took care of Yoko Nakamura, a spokeswoman for Haibara Co., Ltd.
Then...
Haibara was founded in the early Edo period in 1806 (3 years of culture).
I have been doing business in Nihonbashi for more than 200 years.
Mr. Sasuke, the first generation, became independent after serving, and started trading paper, ink and medicine.
As for paper, handling high-quality and beautiful goose skin paper (Ganpashi: refer to the previous article), it became very popular with the people of Edo.
As depicted in the noren, it is the birth of "Gange Paper Haibara".
In addition, small items such as Chiyogami, Dan fans, and stationery, which are decorated with woodblock prints on Japanese paper, have also become their main products.
From the end of the Tokugawa period to the Meiji era, Japanese paper was widely introduced to Western countries through various expositions.
Meiji 6 (1873) Vienna World Exposition
1878 Paris World Exposition
1879 Sydney World Exposition
In 1888, Barcelona World Exposition
These awards are given to the international community to demonstrate the high level of Japanese culture.
Mr. Haibara's Japanese paper products went to Western Europe.
The Victoria Albert Museum, UK
The Glasgow Museum
Paris Museum of Decorative Arts, France
It's stored in the library.
They are said to have influenced Japonism that spread throughout Western Europe in the latter half of the 19th century.
On the other hand, in Japan, we worked early in the current trends of Civilization and enlightenment and handled Western paper.
Mr. Haibara's tag and storefront in the Meiji era have a large sign saying "Western paper goods".
Naojiro Haibara, the third generation, joined Ryuikekai (the predecessor of the Japan Art Association), which was formed in 1883 for the purpose of restoring Japanese art.
In 1891, he was assisted in the establishment of the Japan Youth Painting Association (later the Japan Art Academy).

I will deepen exchanges with leading painters of modern times.
And we asked many original drawings of Mr. Haibara's products, such as fans, fans, and woodcuts.
This seems to be the cornerstone of the "Haibara Design" that continues today.

In 1887, he served the interior of the Meiji New Palace, such as ceilings and wallpapers.
As a result, His Imperial Highness Prince Arisugawa Miyatoshi, who was also the president of the Japan Art Association, said, "Haibara's products are a ball with a ball." I received the dyeing brush of "Jyugyoku".
