In the 4th Meiji period, the head of SUGIHARA WASHI PAPER, INC, Hanjiro Sugihara founded the workshop.
Echizenwashi was praised as a number one washi paper in the country.
Even used by the Taisho Emperor, our washi had an excellent reputation.
After 100 years of history, the warehouse used during the Meiji period was reborn into what is now known to be our washi shop, SUGIHARA WASHIPAPER,INC.
Echizen washi paper is created and handmade by craftsmen in the area.
Our job is to provide and produce washi paper through projects, manufacturing, selling, and developing the usage of washi paper.
Washi paper can be recycled, and has a shelf life of 1000 years, thus, highly sustainable.
Washi paper fits into the SDGS lifestyle, despite its analog style. It is a healthy and practical material that japanese culture has cultivated through a long period of time.
