Breathing washi mobile – Balance type

¥6,600

This mobile is made of washi paper, which is carefully made by threading washi koyori one by one as if weaving lace, and then using the clean water at the foot of “Kannon-mizu,” one of the 100 famous mineral springs in Japan. It brings a gentle, clear breeze blowing through the mountains to your room.
