A single sheet that evokes the stories behind it and the warmth of handiwork will surely leave a deep impression on your teachers and seniors. “Ms./Mr. [Your Name], what lovely kaishi. Is it from Izumo?” Such conversations will arise, naturally conveying your elegance.
From an ordinary sheet to a special one that “can tell a story.”
This small choice will greatly enhance your approach to the tea ceremony and the quality of your daily hospitality.
[The Art of Tradition] Why is “Izumo Washi Mitsumata Kaishi” Chosen by Adults with a Taste for the Authentic?
“But won’t patterned kaishi look cheap?” “Is the quality really suitable for a tea ceremony?”
These concerns can be dispelled by the “authentic quality” guaranteed by the materials and origin. Our kaishi is made from 100% Mitsumata washi, handcrafted by artisans in Izumo, the land of myths, who uphold traditional methods.
There are three clear reasons why we are particular about “Izumo Washi” among the many types of Japanese paper.
- [Elegance at Your Fingertips] A Silk-like “Suppleness” that Beautifies Even Your Gestures
- The pure water of Izumo and the handcrafting techniques passed down through generations. This is what makes the Mitsumata fibers fine and incredibly smooth. This “suppleness” makes even simple gestures, like taking a sweet or wiping your mouth, appear more elegant and beautiful.
- [Approved by Tea Masters] The “Profound Texture” of the Mythical Land Gives You Confidence
- Washi born in the land of Izumo, where eternal history and myths breathe, carries a dignified and pure air. Its elegant texture gives you the confidence to act without hesitation at important tea gatherings or in front of guests. With this kaishi, you can be proud in any situation.
- [Beautiful Handwriting] Its “Bleed-Resistant” Quality is Perfect for Heartfelt Messages
- When you suddenly want to add a word of “thank you” or use it as a note card, Izumo Washi is resistant to ink bleeding from brushes or pens, beautifully holding your script. It supports the poised and composed demeanor of an adult.
