よーじや 祇園本店

Yojiya began in 1904 as Kunieda Shoten. Its signature blotting paper is, at heart, gold-leaf beating paper: the shop developed a special washi actually usable for beating gold leaf into an oil-blotting paper, made by the gold-leaf beating method — hammered again and again to raise the fibre density to its limit. The secret of its absorbency lies in a goldsmith's tool. A set of five booklets costs ¥1,960 including tax; the pink Baton stick costs ¥1,320. Its online shop sells the paper in different booklet counts and scents such as yuzu.
