It is made using traditional Japanese paper-making techniques such as “flow-making” and “pool-making.” Awa Washi is characterized by the unique texture and natural feel of hand-made paper, along with its durable quality—thin yet strong and resistant to tearing, even when wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2216\" data-start=\"1718\"\u003e◆History of Awa Washi\u003cbr data-end=\"1742\" data-start=\"1739\"\u003eThe exact origins of Awa Washi are unclear, but it is thought to have begun around 806–810 AD. Records indicate that the Awa Inbe clan cultivated hemp and kozo (paper mulberry) and produced paper, suggesting that washi production had already begun by the Nara period. In modern times, Awa washi gradually declined alongside Westernization. However, one paper-making company persevered in preserving the tradition, and in 1976, Awa washi was designated a Traditional Craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2461\" data-start=\"2218\"\u003e◆Design\u003cbr data-end=\"2228\" data-start=\"2225\"\u003eThis artwork was designed in my Kyoto studio.
