HANDBOOK OF THE ART OF WASHI

Public appreciation of Washi has increased internationally

both from the variety of expressiveness and it's function

and due to those aspects, the range of utilization has expanded.

Song visitors to Japan, there are many who have interest

in Washi and are inquisitive about it. To respond to

this situation, we decided to issue an English translation

of the "Handbook on the Art of Washi". It is our hope many

more persons shall be able to learn more about

Washi through this Handbook.
