Fusuma papers have been evolving. In the past, Washi (Japanese paper) was made by hand, called "suki", and artisans drew pictures on it and decorated it, resulting in tens of millions of Fusuma papers. In recent years, technological innovations in printing machines have made it possible to give ordinary paper the delicate unevenness and texture of Washi. It is so precise that it is impossible to distinguish between Japanese paper and non-Japanese paper even when viewed up close. One of the most famous examples of this technology is "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," a world-famous work by Katsushika Hokusai. Harima Industrial Co., Ltd. actively accepts new technologies while preserving tradition.

Persimmon tannin-dyed washi paper (with three coats) is made by picking astringent persimmons when they are still green (August to early September), squeezing out the juice, diluting it with water, and preserving it. Japanese paper dyed with persimmon tannin is strong and the color of persimmon tannin darkens over time. Please enjoy the changes over time.
