◆A gorgeous Mino washi kabuto helmet display combined with our specially designed premium chirimen fabric carp streamer display.

Today’s customers often look for “carp streamers” and “kabuto” displays together, so we’ve created an elegant compact set with both. It comes with a high-end whitewood stand, so you can display them separately as well.

◆Our Mino washi kabuto display features crisp, detailed patterns that are difficult to replicate in fabric, and you can choose from original designs like “Shira Wave,” “Dot Gold,” “Shira Sakura,” “Shira Wave Black,” “Shira Wave Gold,” “Yuzen Gold,” plus different types of horns including “Long Horn,” “Big Horn,” and “Crescent Moon.” Meanwhile, the carp streamers come in “Shira” style or “Color” style.

◆We offer choices between a classic wooden box or whitewood stand, so you can adapt to your customers’ needs.

◆DIY kits for an experiential “koto consumption” approach

At the request of end-users who love to craft at home, we created assembly kits. With user-friendly instructions, they appeal to all ages and can be used for workshops or events.

◆Perennial favorites

We also feature new and long-selling items like Boys’ Festival papier-mâché, shimenawa hanging ornaments, mobile dolls, hand-sewn dolls, and more.

◆Early order benefits!

We offer free shipping to customers who order by our official deadline! *Minimum quantity 1. For split or multi-destination shipments, only one location is covered. For split deliveries, only the first shipment is covered.

Since our products are produced in Gifu, Japan, they are readily available with stable supply.

*However, items are handmade, so we set an order deadline to ensure high quality and timely production.

*Due to the artisanal process, production and shipping are prioritized for customers who place orders first.

*We cannot accept cancellations after an order has been placed.

If you need changes in order quantity or delivery date, please contact us within eight days of ordering. Because each item is handmade, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests.

Ishikawa Shigyo Original Hand-Dyed Mino Washi Series – On Sale!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

With expertise in Mino washi since our founding in 1902, we’re proud to offer these unique papers!

Our direct store customers love it!

We keep adding new patterns to our hand-dyed Mino washi, featuring brilliant designs.

Customers praise its beauty, premium feel, color combinations, texture, and thickness.

Use cases vary widely—book covers, small pouches, accessories, backdrops, mini screens, handicrafts, wall décor, and more.

Our paper is meticulously dyed in Kyoto by skilled artisans using stencils and color mixing for each hue, creating vivid patterns and delicate details that can’t be replicated by fabric.

Every color requires specialized stencils, dyes, and hand-printing methods.

It’s a testament to traditional Japanese craftsmanship and artistry.

Lightweight yet durable.

With many designs, it’s ideal as a unique material for gifts, craftwork, displays, or interior decoration.

Order from just 1 sheet. Please specify the pattern number.

We can also develop custom patterns.

A Note from the Team – “Yamashita’s Yama”

Hello!
I’m Yamashita, the new person in charge of our newsletter.

I joined on November 11th last year—Pocky Day. My goal is to be as reliable as a solid Pocky stick in my sales role.
Some might say Pocky is easy to snap, but thanks to my supportive coworker Ms. Sato, I’m learning quickly.

Before this, I worked in childcare, so this is a brand-new field for me. Everything is 80% fresh excitement and 20% “oh no, how does this work?” each day.
Sato, who is soon leaving, patiently guides me, always smiling. She’s amazing at explaining things in ways I can grasp. Sometimes she challenges me with, “So, how do you think we do it?”—and I do my best to figure it out, though often I just apologize and ask for help again. She has the patience of a saint.

Let’s see if I can find some sweetness in my Pocky metaphor. Maybe I can be a flavor like matcha or strawberry, bringing a pleasant taste to your day.

Anyway, I look forward to working with all of you^^
