Washi is traditional Japanese paper processed by hand using fibers from the inner bark of certain trees or shrubs. Awagami's washi products are 100% crafted and produced by the Fujimori family in Tokushima, Japan. Since antiquity, Japanese washi has been made from renewable plant resources that reach maturity in 1-2 years. When compared to wood-based papers (that take dozens of years to mature and require many chemicals), washi is created with significantly less harm to our environment in a clean and eco-friendly manner. In the traditional spirit of Japan, Awagami maintains a caring and nurturing focus on the environment using these renewable plants and recycling all water used during production.
