A heartfelt gift for your loved ones

Plums have long been considered auspicious in Japan, as is associated with the pine, bamboo, and plum trees. The shape of a plum has a ``tight knot that does not easily untie'', so it is used for various celebratory occasions, including engagements and gift bags. Plum blossoms are also said to be flowers that bloom through the harsh winters, and because of these various connections, they have three meanings: ``to bind tightly,'' ``to ward off evil,'' and ``to improve one's destiny.''

The feelings of the craftsmen are conveyed through the touch of their fingers.
Warm washi paper created by people and nature is a part of our daily lives.

``Tosa Washi'' from Kochi Prefecture is called one of Japan's three major washi papers, along with ``Echizen Washi'' from Fukui Prefecture and ``Mino Washi'' from Gifu Prefecture.
Kozo and mitsumata grown in the mountains of Tosa are washed with water from Tosa's clear streams, such as the Niyodo River and Shimanto River.
The nature of Tosa is equally infused into both the rugged, wild-looking paper where you can see the raw materials and the thin paper like Tengucho paper.
In particular, Tosa kozo, which is grown in mountainous areas, has long fibers that tend to get tangled, so it is strong even though it is thin.
