Mino washi encompasses the history of Japanese paper — with roots dating all the way back to the Nara jidai (period) of ancient Japan. Furukawashiko is the brand known for its paper making tradition and history in Gifu prefecture (where my father is from).
"As the existence of paper continues to fade and the world shifts to digital, what is important now is the connections between people and maintaining our unique sensibilities." — President Shinto Furukawa
