Happy Friday!☀️Opening up a new batch of HM-40 Udagami Thin! These papers are entirely handmade (from the Kozo plant) in Nara, with local clay added to make the paper strong against heat and prevent worms! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀Each batch comes with a wrapping with all of the paper deets like cooking agent, fiber content, etc. Made by Masayuki Fukunishi

Wow wow wow. Special size Large Igarashi Kozo (48x72” 430gsm) handmade! Available now in limited stock (9sheets). Igarashi Kozo is suitable for a multitude of uses from digital printing to painting. This paper does it all! Get it while it’s hot 🔥🔥🔥 handmade in Fukui, 🇯🇵 using a mix of Kozo and Pulp with inner sizing. Give us a call if you’re interested in purchasing 1-866-HP-WASHI (1-866-479-2744). 7.5” squares also available.

Baby Kozo Transplant HPI staff Edwin put on his gardening gloves on a mission to transplant the Kozo to a bigger planter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Last May, we were gifted this baby Kozo from Tim Barrett from University of Iowa. Though the little one is growing, we need to transfer him/her to a wider pot so it can comfortably spread its Kozo roots. (Tanino san informed us that Kozo plant roots grow horizontally) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’ll be a while until we can make paper from this Kozo, but we’re working on it! Hopefully baby Kozo likes its new home!

Behind the Scenes: Shipment Day. Every month or so, we receive boat shipments from Japan of papers, materials and supplies. Today’s shipment was from Kochi/Fukui, the biggest consolidated shipment that we get from Japan. Seven pallets in 95 degree weather☀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Every member of the Hiromi Paper team works hard to safely unload, inspect & organize the products. Go Teamwork!!

LONG LASTING WASHI Accounting book from 1907 (Meiji 40) Written with sumi ink on 💯 Japanese Kozo papers. Background: Records of accounting, inventory, or ledgers were kept in these Japanese Daifukucho books. In case of a 🔥, they were thrown into wells to keep them safe. After the fires were extinguished, the books would be recovered from the wells, and retained their original form after drying due to the strength and longevity of the Washi used. #themoreyouknow backdrop is #mugenzome paper.

Thank you to everyone that came out to the 30th Anniversary Events! We could not have done it without all of your love and support. Thank you for 30 years, and to many more! Special thanks to @jflalc @jaccc and the Japanese papermakers that came to celebrate with us.
