Moriki Paper Co., Ltd. Details
With four distinct seasons, a wide range of climates, and disparate local cultures, the Japanese archipelago stretches from the sub-arctic zone in the north to the sub-tropical zone in the south. Utilising bast fibres (kozo, mitsumata, and gampi are the three main Japanese fibres) and clear mountain stream water, craftspeople in each area have been making washi (fine Japanese papers), for over 1000 years. Local climate, culture, and customs have permeated the characteristics of each locality's papermaking techniques, and in turn, the papers produced by its craftspeople.MORIKI PAPER has for nearly a century been forging deep and sustained relationships directly with papermakers and suppliers throughout each of these regions in Japan, gaining a detailed understanding not only of the papers, but also of the methods and materials of papermaking.We are also committed to the long-term growth in international understanding of the beauty and utility of washi. We are delighted to be a part of the tremendous growth of potential applications for washi, generated both domestically and internationally.MORIKI PAPER, through partnership with washi producers and craftspeople, aspires to provide the widest variety of top quality washi, and in cooperation with international customers, to expand the possibilities of washi, in turn contributing to global art, culture, and creative lifestyle.POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS FOR WASHIFine Art - Printmaking - Woodblock, Etching, Stonecut, LithographyBookbinding & Book ArtsConservation and Restoration Crafts & Stationery - Origami, Card-making, Writing pads, Calligraphy etc.Graphic DesignManufacturing - Packaging, Lampshade-making, Book-covering, etc.PaintingDrawing etc.
