Breathing Washi made with famous water

Breathable washi made by attaching zeolite, a mineral, to kozo (paper mulberry), the raw material for washi. Each sheet of washi is handmade using Kannon water, one of the 100 best waters in the world, in a mountainous area rich in nature.

Breathing washi mobile – Balance type

¥6,000

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.
