Description

In 2014, “Washi, craftsmanship of traditional Japanese handmade paper,” was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The art of making paper entered Japan around the seventh century, and the Shōsōin treasure house in Nara holds a family register written on domestically produced Minogami paper from the beginning of the eighth century. The history of washi therefore stretches back at least 1,300 years. Differences in climate and topography have since given rise to a wide variety of distinctive types of paper in different parts of the country.
