Description
This premium plan involves hand-making the gorgeous and beautiful "Unryu paper" with a pattern resembling a dragon dancing among the clouds, pouring it into a special mold to make two envelopes and four pieces of letter paper. Unryu paper is characterized by its unique pattern created by adding the long, thin fibers of Tosa kozo, and the warmth and luxury that only natural fibers can give it. The "Unryu Paper" that will be produced in this plan was created during the Meiji and Taisho periods, when writing implements changed from brushes to pens and the uses of washi paper, which had previously been a daily necessity, expanded. By incorporating long, thin torn fibers, a pattern that resembles a dragon dancing among the clouds is created. It has a unique, elegant, luxurious feel and is highly regarded for its various uses, from interior decoration to wrapping paper and materials for traditional crafts.
