Echizen Handmade Washi Paper - Earth

Handcrafted in Echizen, a region with over 1,500 years of papermaking heritage, Kumohada embodies the quiet elegance of true craftsmanship. The name "Kumohada," meaning "cloud texture," reflects the soft, organic patterns that emerge naturally during the making process.

Each sheet is created using the Nagashizuki method, a traditional technique where fibers are layered by hand in flowing, rhythmic motions. This method allows for remarkable strength, evenness, and a subtle translucency that machine-made papers cannot replicate. The use of Manila hemp gives the paper a light yet durable feel, making it a refined choice for interiors where light, texture, and tactility are essential.

Recommended Applications: Partition panels, feature walls, ceilings, framed art, or hospitality and wellness spaces such as spas, boutique hotels, tea rooms, and yoga studios. Fire-retardant treatment is required for commercial use.
