[Recommended 2025 Hina Dolls]
■Our 2025 new designs include large and medium three-tier and two-tier Hina decorations made with genuine “Washi Artisan’s Handiwork.”
■We use a premium natural-wood (shiraki) stand for Ishikawa Shigyo’s “original Hina platform” in both three-tier and two-tier displays.
■We invested significant time in developing and prototyping these original designs to achieve an elegant aesthetic.
■Among them, “Yu” is a compact yet relatively large-scale Hina doll set refined over many trials.
■Our lineup includes “Yu,” “Rin,” “Tsumugi,” and a glass version “Midori.”
■All are original Ishikawa Shigyo creations that blend seamlessly with both modern Western and traditional Japanese interiors, designed to be compact enough to display anywhere.
■Try a “hands-on kit” to create your own experience
Our craft kits—born from customer demand—are popular with all ages.
We’ve developed these DIY kits so that anyone can enjoy the pleasure of creative handicrafts—perfect for workshops and events.
■We feature many popular items, including the classic Shimenawa hanging ornaments, mobile dolls, hand-sewn “Otedama” Hina dolls, from brand-new releases to longstanding bestsellers.
■For full product details—ideal for sales, marketing, and promotions—see our separate Product Profiles.
[Recommended 2025 May Dolls]
◆We combine lavishly patterned Mino Washi kabuto (helmets) with our unique, premium chirimen carp streamers to create a single, modern compact display for May Festival. Many families want both “carp streamers” and “kabuto” in one set.
◆They can also be displayed separately, each with its own high-quality shiraki stand.
◆Our Mino Washi kabuto features exquisitely printed patterns that cloth can’t replicate, offered in designs such as “shira wave,” “Dot Gold,” “shira Sakura,” “shira Wave Black,” “shira Wave Gold,” and “Yuzen Gold.”
We have a choice of “long crest,” “large crest,” or “crescent crest” for the front decoration.
For carp streamers, pick “shira” or “color” style.
◆Popular items also include a kiribako (paulownia) box style, a shiraki (natural-wood) stand style, and more, meeting a variety of needs.
◆Try a “hands-on kit” for a truly interactive experience
Again, our craft kits are well-loved—great for workshops and events, appealing to a wide demographic with easy-to-follow instructions.
◆Yearly bestsellers include May papier-mâché dolls, shimenawa hanging ornaments, mobiles, and hand-sewn “Otedama” warrior dolls, from brand new to classic favorites.
◆If you place your order by the official deadline, you’ll enjoy early-bird benefits!
Bonus: Free shipping! Order quantity from 1 piece upward. (For split shipments, only one address is covered. If you split shipments, free shipping applies to the first shipment only.)

Ishikawa Shigyo Original Hand-Dyed Mino Washi Series – Now on Sale!
━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━
With a heritage in Mino Washi since our founding in 1902, we’ve perfected these unique papers!
Our direct shop customers love them!
We continue adding new patterns to our “Mino Washi Yuzen Dyed Paper” line.
We often hear praise like “So beautiful!” “So luxurious!” “Love the colors, texture, and thickness!”
They serve countless purposes—book covers, small boxes, accessories, folding screens, backgrounds, displays, and more.
Our paper is crafted in Mino City (with over 1,300 years of papermaking history), then dyed in Kyoto by skilled artisans who apply colors one layer at a time. Yuzen-dyed washi offers vivid, intricate patterns unmatched by textiles.
Each color requires its own stencil and carefully matched dyes, all pressed by hand.
This is truly a masterpiece of traditional Japanese craft.
Lightweight yet durable.
With an array of vibrant designs, these papers are perfect for gifts, hobbies, interior decoration, wall art, and more.
Order as few as 1 sheet of any available pattern.
We can also produce custom patterns.

A Word from the Team – “Sato’s Castle”
Thank you for your continued support.
I’m Sato, aiming to be a wrestling master.
This weekend, my son will compete in a wrestling tournament:
the “29th National Invitational Championship” in Tokyo!
He qualified from the summer nationals, so this is the ultimate showdown.
Apparently, the mayor of Mino City gave him a formal send-off (to my surprise!),
and his photo even made it into local newspapers and on city social media. Pressure is on…
But my son mostly seems excited about visiting the Pokémon Center in Tokyo.
Hopefully he’ll snag both a medal and some Pokémon merch!
Anyway, I heard from a client in Tokyo that foreigners are now flocking to the Pokémon Center as well.
