〇 Washi Korokoro Disney catalog is here↓

https://www.ishikawa-shigyo.com/lsc/lsc-upfile/catalog/03/46/346_1_file.pdf
 〇 Why we recommend it!

The Mino Washi used as the material is a traditional Japanese paper with over 1,300 years of history.

The way it tumbles over and pops back up again and again brings to mind Mickey as a cheerful “genki” character. The bright spirit of Mickey Mouse—who has delivered smiles across generations—overlaps with the warmth of washi. Handcrafted with techniques passed down at Ishikawa Paper Goods Ltd. since 1902, this is a celebratory, gift-ready item filled with good fortune.
