Mino Washi
Thin, yet incredibly durable. Museums around the world entrust this paper with the restoration of cultural properties. Mino Washi is a type of Japanese paper with a history spanning over 1,300 years, centered in Mino City, Gifu Prefecture. Paper from Mino used in the family registers of the year 702 remains in the Shosoin Repository, making it known as one of Japan's oldest types of Washi. The pure waters of the Nagara River system and the manual 'tesuki' (hand-molding) techniques of artisans have produced paper that is both supple and strong. In 2014, Hon-Mino paper was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. It is also used for restoration work at the British Museum and the Louvre. Transforming into items such as stationery and lampshades, Mino Washi gently brings a touch of Japanese warmth to daily life.
