Making Hosho since Taisho era

We were founded in the Taisho era and is now mainly making "Echizen-Hosho".
We always keep in mind to preserve the tradition of echizen washi and to make high quality washi without damaging the trust that has been built up in the past.
Our paper is also used for restoration of valuable Japanese cultural properties because of its tear-resistant and flexible nature.
