[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.

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.
For details on hand-dyed Mino Washi, see below ↓↓
Mino Washi Yuzen-Dyed Paper Catalog (our blog)
*Yuzen patterns are updated periodically.
Please contact our Circulation Department for stock status.

it’s tourism that “takes full account of its current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts,
addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment, and host communities.”
This approach is increasingly relevant for responsible cultural travel experiences.

Ogura Park

In April, around the time of the Mino Festival, the cherry blossoms are at their peak.
When Nagachika Kanamori was granted the land of Mino by Ieyasu Tokugawa, he built Ogura Castle on Mt. Ogura, a small mountain at 159m elevation. It is now Ogura Park, beloved by both residents and visitors. In spring, around 100 cherry trees bloom gloriously, making it a popular spot during the Sakura Festival. In winter, the snow-covered landscape of Mt. Ogura is equally beautiful.

在地小學校社會參觀與手作體驗
孩子們的問答
～後續～
━━━━━━━━━━━━
以下是當地小學校社會參觀時的問答續篇。
≪關於和紙≫
Q：為何和紙能印刷得如此漂亮？（是什麼技術？）
A：和紙的種類很多。以本公司使用的美濃和紙友禪染紙來說，是將美濃和紙送往京都，逐色進行手刷。對製作手作和紙雜貨的本公司來說，美濃和紙友禪染紙是不可或缺的。
多版套印的美濃和紙友禪染紙，需要美濃和紙柔韌而堅固的特性。
友禪和紙的美，在於每張紙都有豐富多彩的圖案，但每個顏色都需要對應的版型。若有七色，則需七種版型。
每種顏色都要調配染料並以手工染色。版型有專門的職人，染色也有專門的職人，從製版、配色到手染，都需要美濃和紙與卓越的匠人工藝才能完成。
Q：和紙的花樣種類有多少？
A：和紙花樣相當自由，幾乎可以無限製作。
大家畫的圖案也能應用在和紙花樣上唷！
不僅是友禪和紙，像是雪花染、板染等染色方式，也能創造各種和紙圖案。
≪關於工作人員≫
Q：有多少職人在製作商品？怎麼製作？
一件商品大概有多少人參與？
A：不包含製紙、製造紙盒、基底布料、染色的職人，本公司從事手工製作的員工大約有40人左右。
若加上製紙、盒子製造、布料製造、染色等職人，超過100位以上的各界人員一同合作。
就像和紙人形和和紙記事本的製造方式不同一樣，我們石川紙業擁有多種製作方法也是其強項之一。
≪關於工作・店鋪≫
Q：店裡最忙碌、辛苦的時候是什麼時候？
大約有多少客人來呢？
A：這家美濃和紙雜貨體驗店石川紙業，主要是讓旅客開心的地方，所以在適合旅行的春秋季就會很熱門也很忙。
前陣子碰上產業祭，我們同時在店裡和產業祭都開店，所以很忙。
美濃和紙雜貨體驗店石川紙業不僅接待日本國內，也接待了來自38個國家的觀光客前來體驗手作。看到每個人獨一無二的作品真的很開心。國家名單在下面列出。
Q：原創商品、聯名商品都是如何製作？
為什麼要做原創商品？
跟幾家公司合作？
之後想企畫什麼作品？
A：
「為使用商品的【最終用戶】創造每天的幸福、樂趣和喜悅」，基於這個目標，我們會想像使用者，盡量具體化需求，然後做出原創產品。
聯名商品多半是客戶先提出需求。我們會詳細聽取客戶所需（需求）設計，再用美濃和紙製作試作品。
然後經過客戶的意見回饋，不斷修正後完成商品。
因為「我們自己的幸福」也是目標，所以當我們做出自己也覺得快樂的原創商品、聯名商品、新企畫時，也都會很興奮。
迄今案例
動漫角色、吉祥物、企業角色、職棒球團角色、交通工具、JAXA月球探測器、歷史人物（武將）、動物（雪貂、澤西牛、狼、八咫烏等）
Q：開始這份工作的契機？
在製作商品時，投入了什麼樣的想法？
A：
起源於1902年（明治35年）創業，今年是第122年，承襲了這家公司的想法。現在，我們為了讓家人、以及和我們一起努力的員工夥伴、購買我們產品的客戶，以及使用這些產品的終端用戶，都能在日常生活中得到幸福、快樂與喜悅而努力製造商品。
以上
關於美濃和紙是如何成為商品，
以及哪些人會感到喜愛，
孩子們提出了各種問題。
我們也很高興他們對我們的工作這麼感興趣。

箕輪隨筆【流感】
這週我聯絡了一些客戶，
好幾次得到「負責人因身體不適而休息」的回覆。
詢問之後的行程，
對方表示「要休好幾天」。
看來各地都在流行流感。
在我們美濃這邊，也時常看到有班級或年級停課。
孩子從學校帶來病毒，
一家人都被傳染的情形也不少見。
我家孫子們前陣子還在鬧腸胃炎，
有幾天都很安靜，
但現在都恢復元氣，

Local elementary school social studies visit & hands-on workshop
Q&A from the children
~Continued~
━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is the continuation of a Q&A from when a local elementary school came for a field trip.
≪About Washi≫
Q: How is Washi printed so beautifully? (What technique is used?)
A: There are many types of Washi. In our case, for Yuzen-dyed Mino Washi, we send Mino Washi to Kyoto for color-by-color hand-printing. Since we manufacture handmade Washi crafts, Yuzen-dyed Mino Washi is essential.
For multi-layered Mino Washi Yuzen-dyed paper, the softness and strength of Mino Washi is required.
The beauty of Yuzen Washi lies in the variety of colorful patterns on each sheet, but you need a separate template for each color. A seven-color Yuzen Washi uses seven templates.
Each color is blended and hand-dyed. Template creation, dye blending, and hand-dyeing are carried out by specialized artisans. None of this is possible without the excellence of Mino Washi and highly skilled craftsmanship.
Q: How many types of Washi patterns are there?
A: Washi patterns are free and endless in variety.
Anything you draw can be made into a Washi pattern!
Not just Yuzen Washi — you can also create patterns using snowflake dyeing or board dyeing.
≪About the People Who Work Here≫
Q: How many artisans produce these items, and how do they do it?
How many people are involved in making a single product?
A: Setting aside papermaking, box production, base material creation, and dye artisans, about 40 staff members do the hand production at our company.
Including papermakers, box makers, fabric makers, and dyers, more than 100 people across many companies work on these products.
Just as Washi dolls differ from Washi memo pads in production methods, having various ways to make things is one of Ishikawa Shigyo’s strengths.
≪About Our Work & Shop≫
Q: When is the shop busiest or most difficult?
How many customers do you get?
A: This shop, Mino Washi Craft Experience Shop Ishikawa Shigyo, is mainly for travelers. We’re crowded in spring and autumn, the best seasons for travel.
Recently, we opened both the shop and a booth at the local industry festival, so that was busy too.
Not only from within Japan, we’ve welcomed hands-on visitors from 38 countries. Seeing each person’s unique creation is truly fun. We list these countries below.
Q: How do you create original items or collaborations?
Why do you make original products?
How many partners do you collaborate with?
What are you planning next?
A:
Because our goal is “to bring daily happiness, fun, and joy to end-users who use our products,” we picture the user, clarify their needs as specifically as possible, and create original designs.
Customers often contact us about collaboration products. They share the designs they need, we make Mino Washi prototypes, and after gathering feedback, we refine them into the final product.
We also aim for “our own happiness,” so we’re excited by original items, collaborations, and new ideas that we ourselves enjoy.
Examples so far:
Anime characters, local mascots, corporate mascots, pro baseball mascots, vehicles, JAXA’s lunar probe, historical figures (warlords), animals (ferrets, Jersey cows, wolves, Yatagarasu, etc.)
Q: What prompted you to start this line of work?
What do you keep in mind when creating products?
A:
It began with taking over a company founded in 1902 (Meiji 35), which marks 122 years. Today, we strive to create daily happiness, fun, and joy for our families, staff, retail customers, and end-users who use the products.
That’s all.
The children asked many questions: how Mino Washi becomes products, who appreciates them, etc.
We’re glad they showed so much curiosity in our work.

Minowa’s Note [Influenza]
When I contacted some clients this week,
I was told multiple times, “The person in charge is off sick.”
Asking about the schedule, they said, “They’ll be off for a few days.”
It seems influenza is going around in many places.
Here in Mino, some classes or even entire grades have closed.
Children bring viruses from school and spread them at home—common enough, right?
My grandkids recently had a stomach bug, so it was quiet for a few days,
but now they’re totally fine,
and life is lively again, like a storm (*^_^*).
Well then…
