Boxes, Ainu-stripe blue

In Toyama Prefecture, on the northern coast, a type of paper known as Yatsuo is produced – by hand – that is thicker and stronger than most other varieties of Japanese Washi paper. This characteristic lends itself to the stencil dyeing method – Katazome – from which high-quality decorations are obtained. Yatsuo paper boxes are perfect for protecting memories or simply for decorating rooms.
