Tenjin Sanshi Japanese Paper Factory
天神産紙工場
Clean washi (Japanese traditional paper) is made from clean water.
Using water from the clear Oda River, which is ideal for making washi, the factory produces high-grade calligraphy paper and kite paper used in the traditional kite battles held in the local Igasaki area.
Designated as a traditional Japanese craft by the Japanese government, Ozu washi is said to have been made since the Heian period (794-1192), and is carefully crafted by hand by traditional artisans and craftspeople.
Visitors to the factory can observe the washi manufacturing process and try their hand at making washi, and notepads and other small articles made of handmade washi are sold at the Ozu Washi Museum on the premises.
Visitors can experience the beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, which is overflowing with the beauty of usage.
