"Kamisoe Papermaker Papermaker Ko Kado exemplifies Kyoto’s commitment to time-honored traditional crafts with his elegant handmade karakami , decorative paper printed withwoodblock patterns. The one-man shop and studio in Kyoto’s Nishijin ward is a mecca to paper pilgrims stocking up on his unique designs. Every piece in his studio-shop is an original, ranging from subtle stationery, postcards, and envelopes to textured wallpaper and translucent paper forthesliding screen doors known as fusuma."

"They have the most exquisite paper goods. Koh-san, the owner, prints simple ivory and gold notecards with pigments made of crushed iridescent seashells."

から紙が買えます。 僕はふすま用にから紙を作っていただきました。 追記:いろんな作家さんのデザインをもとに版木を作ってるのもあります。僕が作ってもらったのは鹿児島睦氏のデザインしたものでした。

閉店の30分前にお店に着いたのですが、どうやら店仕舞いを始めたところのようでした。 営業時間中ではあるのですが、入って良いかわからず入り口から覗いて様子を伺っていたのですが、店内にいる店員さんがこちらに気付いたにも関わらず、見なかったふりをして急いで片付けて電気を消し、お店を閉めて出て行ってしまいました。 早く帰りたかったのかもしれませんが、せっかく足を運んで来たのですから、一言あっても良かったのではないでしょうか。
