The living culture of washi paper in Mino, the land once seen by Nobunaga Mino as a stage of history

Mino as a stage of history

Interest in the land of Mino has once again been growing, inspired by historical dramas.
This region, once associated with Oda Nobunaga, is not only remembered as a stage of history, but also as a place where a rich culture of craftsmanship has long been passed down through generations.
One of its most iconic traditions is Mino washi paper.

The enduring appeal of Mino washi

Thin and supple yet remarkably strong, Mino washi carries both a gentle texture and a quiet beauty.
Even after the passing of many years, it continues to live on in the daily life and culture of this region.
When speaking of history, we often focus on historical figures, but by turning our attention to the culture rooted in the land where they once stood, we discover another kind of fascination.
