Ozu Washi is one of the oldest long-established stores in Nihonbashi.
It was opened for two years (1653). Starting from Matsuzaka in Ise, I came to the current Edo Dai Temmacho.
In addition to the store on the first floor, Ozu Washi has a historical museum with about 1,000 ancient document registered by Chuo Ward Tangible Cultural Property. A guide can also be requested), various cultural classes, Japanese paper galleries nationwide, and paper making classes that can be experienced with one coin, the facilities are so full that you can enjoy the day.
Paper making experience for 500 yen. Of course, you can take your own paper home.
I think some people are wondering what to buy because the souvenirs are great, but in such a situation! Perfect size and price for a small Nihonbashi souvenir! There is a product called "Oh".
That's right!
Do you know anything about it?
(By the way, the doll on the side is the zodiac do bell that you can visit around Ginza Hatcho Shrine.)
This is a lens wiping made of microfiber.
The product name is "Optical Lens Cloth Glasses", but of course, it is not just glasses that can be wiped. Oil stains on screens of smartphones and personal computers, camera lenses, and fingertips. Just wipe it quickly and it will be really beautiful. You can remove the fine dirt on the smartphone screen just by gently stroking it several times. Moreover, once you wipe it, you can use it repeatedly until it breaks instead of poi.
Unwoven fabric made of micro fiber developed by a long-established Japanese paper company. Do you feel the fineness of your eyes?
Even in a box, there is a small pocket type that costs several hundred yen.
This is the first time you use it....!, So I think it is a product suitable for practical and souvenirs.
In stores, it is often placed next to the cash register, but it may be a bit difficult to find it, so I think it would be better to ask the clerk.
