Japanese paper workshop Wakatake

Japan, 525-0042 657-1 Yamadera-cho, Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture

Kusatsu washi paper was born from the rich nature of Omi and the beautiful water of Lake Biwa. Each piece is carefully made by hand using gampi, which has a long history of luster and warmth. Kusatsu washi is a washi that expresses the region, and is made into a gentle washi that incorporates nature such as Kusatsu's flowers (Aobana) and Lake Biwa's (reeds). Kusatsu washi paper lampshades will gently give us the peace and warmth that we had almost forgotten. [Trial Course] Washi Workshop Wakatake offers a "Kusatsu Washi Trial Course." Why not enjoy using your own handmade washi for lighting, wall decorations, postcards, and more? We also offer on-site lectures. ~We look forward to your call.
