Ogawa Washi (Japanese paper) is one of the famed hand-made Japanese paper in Japan. Ogawa town, a center of production enjoy a clean stream and a good paper mulberry for Washi making. The origin of Ogawa Washi go back 1,300years ago when many naturalized Koreans introduced a technique of hand-made paper making in the area. During the Edo era, Ogawa town became major area of washi supply to Edo (Old Tokyo).
There are many paper crafts by using Ogawa Washi. We are using this Ogawa Washi for wrapping wooden boxes of sake cups. The photo is an exhibition hall of Ogawa washi.
