Washi\u00a0is the light, strong traditional Japanese\u00a0paper\u00a0made by hand from the inner-bark fibers of three plants. The name\u00a0washi\u00a0literally means “Japanese\u00a0paper”. Today most\u00a0paper\u00a0in Japan is made in large automated mills, but a few hundred families in rural villages continue to make\u00a0washi\u00a0in the traditional way.<\/p>\n

A washi paper-making workshop experience, in the countryside, taught by a family with a long tradition in the craft, is often one of the highlights of our clients on “Japan Discovered<\/a>“, our no.1 best selling small group tour. Check out the below video of our travel consultant Mizuki explaining about washi paper and one of our past customers give a video testimonial on the experience.<\/p>\n
