Overview
Using handmade paper from Towa Town (now Hanamaki City) Narishima, produced in the prefecture, we are making Japanese paper and paper paper dolls with our original “backing” technique. The light and durable rustic taste is popular, such as the traditional Oni-Ken dance surface and the Kagura side, and the yearly “Zodiac” dolls. Japanese paper is light and well visible, and breathing is easy. Washi dolls are rustic tastes and are popular for interiors of rooms.
