Washi is a traditional Japanese paper that is used to make origami as well as other traditional arts. We use it as the gift wrapping paper. Getting a knife as a gift is special, but getting it wrapped in a cool-looking washi paper adds that extra touch of authenticity of the rich Japanese culture.

Please add additional quantities if you are ordering multiple gifts. 1 product = 1 gift wrapping paper.

Note: We wrap every ordered knife in Japanese newspaper free of charge. For the traditional Washi paper gift wrapping we charge a fee.

The motifs of washi paper have a deeper meaning. Here’s what the ones we use to wrap your gifts mean:

CRANES: Longevity, good fortune, peace, and healing. The Japanese red-crowned crane, specifically, is an emblem of the imperial household and brings good luck and happiness.

KABUKI: Kabuki is a traditional Japanese form of theater that originated in the early 17th century. It is a reflection of Japanese cultural values, societal norms, and historical narratives performed by a male-only cast.

KANJI: Practitioners dedicate years to mastering the art of Kanji calligraphy on washi paper - it is an expression of Japan’s cultural and artistic heritage and conveys deep meanings such as wisdom, poetry, and philosophy.

WAVE: The iconic wave pattern known as "Seigaiha" or "Seigainami," has been used in Japanese art and textiles for centuries. It symbolizes the ebb and flow of life, continuity, and harmonious balance.

Very nice but too expensive

The wrapping paper is very nice but not worth 10€. For 5€ I would give 5 stars. Considering that elsewhere gift wrapping options are between 2 and 5€.

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

Gift wrapping with Japanese Washi paper emphasizes the preciousness of the artistic product hidden in the box. Everything is additionally protected with a natural wrapper. I recommend it.
