Geschenkverpackung [Washi Japanese paper]

Hello Mr. Žiga,

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that the product did not meet your expectations regarding the price.

I would like to share with you that we use an extremely special Japanese washi paper, which is handmade exclusively upon prior order. The procurement of this paper is quite challenging, as it is not in stock, and comes from only a few small workshops, mostly from the Kyoto area.

The paper is made using techniques that originate from the centuries-old tradition of dyeing silk kimono garments with rich and complex patterns. Techniques such as katazome and chiyogami were only transferred to paper in the mid-20th century, and today only a handful of masters maintain them.

In the past, hand-cut stencils were used, coated with persimmon juice, but today traditional methods are often combined with modern screen printing.

The price is slightly higher due to its rarity, hand-made and cultural value. We believe that our customers, and the recipients, deserve to experience such a unique piece of Japanese tradition.

Best regards,
David
