Itaboshi-zome is a traditional Japanese dyeing technique in which washi paper is folded and sandwiched between boards before being dyed. It is characterized by the beautiful geometric patterns that emerge when the paper is unfolded, and each piece offers a unique look.
Please enjoy the unique texture that comes from the meticulous handiwork of artisans who have carefully dyed each sheet by hand.
