We Experience making paper in Ichinoseki, Iwate

The city of Ichinoseki in Iwate prefecture, has an 800 year old traditional art form called “Higashi Yama Washi”. We went to experience how this traditional Japanese paper is produced.

Step 1. Creating our Design

Firstly we needed to decide on our design for the paper. We then poured the paper pulp into the square molds which, when dry, would create our paper.

Step 2. Adding colors

Secondly, we decided on what colours to use in our wonderful creations.

This type of paper takes a significant amount of time to dry. So the workshop will handle the drying and delivery of the finished product to your house!

Summary
