Elements that shape 和然 - WASHIKA -
01 Hon-Minoshi from Gifu, Mino
The Mino region in Gifu Prefecture has long been known
as a center for traditional papermaking.
Kozo fibers, soaked in cold, clear water,
are gently hand-scooped by skilled artisans over time.
The natural “ripples” that emerge in this process are never the same—
each one leaving a unique expression on every bag.

02 Harmonizing Leather
"Leather bags degrade over time"—
It was this common belief that inspired the creation of Aging Beauty Leather.
With time, it develops a richer luster and character unique to each user.
This leather resonates with washi,
quietly recording its beauty from the moment it's held.

“Aging Beauty” embodied in materials.
和然 - WASHIKA - weaves together two materials
Each one evolving differently in your hands,
deepening in beauty with time.
