Our Mino Washi lifestyle goods are born from the handcraft culture of Mino City, Gifu—home of Mino Washi—where Edo‑period craft traditions live on. Inspired by the “Udatsu ga agaru” townscape of Mino. Handcrafted brand “Washi‑ya no Te‑shigoto” (The Paper Shop’s Handwork). Perfect for overseas importers and retailers seeking genuine Made‑in‑Japan crafts and Japanese gifts wholesale.
