[Recommended 2025 Hina Dolls]

■For 2025, we introduced large and medium multi-tier Hina ornaments with advanced “washi artisan craftsmanship.”

■Using a high-end white wooden stand for our original multi-tier and two-tier Hina displays by Ishikawa Shigyo.

■After much trial and error, we designed these beautiful displays entirely in-house at Ishikawa Shigyo.

■The “Yu” model is particularly elegant, perfected after years of prototyping—compact, yet large by our standards.

■We’ve named each series “Yu,” “Rin,” “Tsumugi,” and the glass model “Midori.”

■All are original Ishikawa Shigyo designs that blend with both Japanese and Western decor. Modern, compact, and easy to display in various settings.

■Try “experiential consumption” with a DIY kit

Our craft kits, which originated from end-user requests, are very popular.

Thanks to simple steps akin to school art projects, customers of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy making them. They’re also widely used in workshops and various events.

■We have a robust lineup—from new releases to long-time favorites—such as the popular shimenawa hanging ornaments, mobile dolls, and handmade beanbag dolls.

■For product details (photos, specs, marketing copy), please check the separate product profile sheets—also useful for in-store promotions.

[Recommended 2025 Boys’ Day Dolls]

◆Experience a luxurious yet compact Boys’ Day display that pairs our gorgeous Mino Washi kabuto helmets with an original high-end chirimen koi-nobori set, perfect for modern customers who want both a koi-nobori and a kabuto on the same display.

◆The Mino Washi kabuto and koi-nobori can also be displayed separately. Each includes its own premium white wood base.

◆The Mino Washi kabuto is incredibly detailed and beautiful, featuring patterns that simply aren’t possible with cloth.

Choose from exclusive “shira wave,” “dot gold,” “shira sakura,” “shira wave black,” “shira wave gold,” or “yuzen gold.”

Select from various helmet crests: “long crest,” “large crest,” or “crescent moon.”

Our koi-nobori decorations are available in “shira” or “color” versions.

◆We offer a popular paulownia box type, white wood base type, etc., so you can pick what best suits your needs.

◆Try “experiential consumption” with a DIY kit

Again, our craft kits were developed from end-user feedback. They’re simple enough for everyone to enjoy—like an elementary school art project—and are widely used for events and workshops.

◆Popular Items

Every year, items like our papier-mâché Boys’ Day dolls, shimenawa hanging ornaments, mobile dolls, and handmade beanbag dolls remain top sellers. We have a range of new releases and proven favorites.

◆We offer an early-order bonus for businesses who place orders before the cutoff date!

Bonus: Free shipping! *Single-lot orders accepted. If shipping to multiple locations, only one location is free. For partial shipments, the first is free only.

Ishikawa Shigyo Original Hand-Dyed Mino Washi Series—Great Reviews!

━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…

Since our founding in 1902, we have been deeply involved in Mino Washi, and we proudly offer this washi we love!

It’s extremely popular at our directly managed store!

We continuously release new patterns of Mino Washi yuzen-dyed paper.

Our customers share feedback like

“It’s so beautiful!” “It feels premium,” “Great color, texture, and thickness!”

They use it for many purposes—book covers, small boxes, accessories, folding screens, backgrounds, crafts, etc.

Our washi uses Mino Washi (with a 1,300-year history) that we have custom-dyed in Kyoto, color by color, using a hand-printing technique for yuzen patterns.

The beauty of yuzen washi lies in its vividly sharp coloration and the intricate multi-colored patterns that cloth cannot replicate.

Each color requires a unique artisan-made stencil and a carefully blended dye, all hand-printed.

It’s a masterpiece of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, requiring mastery in both papermaking and dyeing.

Lightweight, thin, but durable.

With a wide variety of patterns, they can be used for gifts, hobby projects, interior displays, wallpaper, tray liners—endless possibilities.

Order from 1 sheet. Let us know your desired pattern numbers.

We can also create custom patterns.

*Yuzen patterns are updated periodically.
