Craftsmanship that highlights the charm of hand-dyed The hand-dyed washi paper used in this paste box case is hand-finished one by one by Yuzen washi dyeing craftsmen at a specialized factory in Kyoto. It is attractive for its deep colors and unique texture using traditional techniques. When you look at the close-up of the pattern, you can feel the delicate color overlap unique to hand-dyeing. Subtle shades and bleeding enhance the texture unique to handwork, creating a unique beauty. By carefully dyeing each plate, it creates a depth and warmth that cannot be expressed through simple printing. The hand-dyed washi paper is hand-finished by a box maker in Kyoto one by one. Each slightly different expression will create a special feeling just for you. Please feel the charm of this texture and warmth created by the handiwork of craftsmen. Wishes and prayers contained in plum patterns, plum blossoms of good health, and pretty flowers blooming dignified in the cold wind. With a faint sweet scent, it heralds the arrival of spring as soon as possible. The vivid colors of red, pink, and white in the quiet winter scenery make you feel even the breath of life. Japan's oldest songbook, "Manyoshu," contains many songs with the theme of "plums," which have fascinated people since ancient times. Speaking of auspicious charms associated with plums, "Daifukucha" is a tea with pickled plums and kelp that is drunk on New Year's Day. Its origin is that Emperor Murakami drank it when he was ill in the middle of the Heian period and recovered. I started drinking it while wishing for a year of good health. It is available in two colors: a warm red and a bright and pop yellow. Although it has a calm color, it has a personality and is perfect as an item to decorate your desk. *Since it is made by cutting large paper, there are individual differences in the arrangement of the pattern.
