紙司柿本

Kamiji Kakimoto began in 1845, when the adopted son of a bamboo dealer in Teramachi decided a street full of bamboo shops needed something else and opened a paper shop instead. Its original letter paper borrows from karakami technique: traditional kira-zuri used a woodblock, egg white and mica powder; this version uses stencil dyeing and konjac paste to recreate the mica shimmer, in seasonal landscape designs — the spring cherry-blossom set costs ¥1,430. The shop sells handmade washi by producing region (Kurotani, Inshu, Echizen, Tango), and a sample pack of Kyoto's own Kurotani paper (A4, ¥2,860) lets buyers test the paper first.
