[Makuake Public Works No. 5] Collaboration with Foil and Washi

The coasters in collaboration with the four seasons designed on chopsticks are available only for early buyers. Japanese paper, one of the traditional Japanese crafts, has been selected as a coaster material so that the charm of drag foil can be used as much as possible.

The charm of the persimmon astringent coaster

1. Simple texture unique to handmade Japanese paper and handmade items

 A Japanese paper coaster carefully wiped one by one. The coaster made of Japanese paper is thin and surprisingly light. The fusion of the complex workshop is fused, and a collaboration of Japanese tradition has been realized. As with chopsticks, there are four types of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Be sure to use a beautiful coaster like a small canvas.

2. Highly durable Japanese paper dyed with the natural material "persimmon astringent" 

In Japan, as the wisdom of life, persimmon astringent (persimmon oil), which contains a lot of tannins, has been used in various fields. It is a natural material made by fermenting and aging blue persimmons. By lying down, such as hitting ultraviolet rays, the color is dark and glossy. The deep expression created by repeating the persimmon astringent process is familiar to calm down. It also enhances waterproofing and insect repellent effects and provides durability that can be used repeatedly.

3. Produced in the Japanese paper studio with a history of over 300 years 

Washi Creation: "Nao (Nao) Hand Suki Washi" in Saga Prefecture (Kyushu)

The "Mei Oten Suki Washi" is not a kozo (Kouzo), which is usually used as a raw material for Japanese paper, but is used by growing kaji trees (casinoki), which were native to the Nagi area. Since the fibers are longer and the fibers are intertwined than the mulberry, it is characterized by the fact that it can be used for thin even though it is thin.

The only hand Suki Washi Kobo, which had more than 100 in this area, is only one of the Taniguchi family, which is now making this coaster. We are still spinning the history to protect the durable Naga Kazu paper tradition.
