Color

Takewashi, or bamboo washi paper, is characterised by a silky touch and a softer texture than cotton paper. The smoothness of bamboo washi makes it suitable for writing with any writing instrument, and its thickness does not bleed through.

This 32 page sketchbook is perfect for drawing, watercolours, charcoal, and any writing implements.

260mm x 85mm

 

Origin

Handcrafted in Yoshinogawa, Niigata Prefecture

Mixing washi paper pulp into water

Determined to preserve the washi paper craft, despite the rise of Western paper following World War II, 6th generation Minoru Fujimori first began what is now Awagami Factory. For over 70 years, the family has continued their longstanding washi traditions in an effort to preserve it and pass it on to the next generation.

Continuing the spirit of washi paper’s sustainability, Awagami maintains a caring and nurturing focus on the environment using theserenewable plants and recycling all water used during production.
