Handmade Washi by Wataru Hatano production.
Using home grown Kozo (mulberry bush), Wataru makes the paper from scratch.
Wataru applies the traditional Japanese materials of Konnyaku paste, persimmon tannin and vegetable oil to the surface of his Washi (Japanese paper) to make it more water-resistant, antiseptic and insect-repellent.
Not only is his washi used to make stationary and bags, it functions as paper strengthener for a wide range of interior products including walls, ceilings, floor and tabletops. Beautiful art piece from Kyoto.
Materials: Kozo pulp, Pigment, Natural oil coating
Approx. Size: 650 x 1000mm
Handcrafted in Kyoto, Japan
