Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Traditional Japanese washi paper has been an important part of the country's culture for more than 1,500 years, and Echizen Washi Village is widely regarded as the tradition's spiritual home. The town's fascinating Paper and Culture Museum introduces visitors to the history of washi paper, while the Paper and Craft museum features a reconstructed papermaker's house from the Edo era, which is the only place in Japan where you can see the entire traditional process from start to finish. If you want a more hands-on experience, you can also visit the Papyrus House to make your own washi paper to bring home.
