Workshop

I'm always accepting workshop at Kasiki Paper mill.

Workshops outside the prefecture and abroad are also possible.
I can respond flexibly to the contents, so please contact me. .

“Paper making full course”

If you want to know more deeply about Washi and Kozo fibers, this course is for you. Not only will you do Kamisuki, which is making your own washi, but also you can experience the important process of the Kozo preparation, which is Heguri (scraping the Kozo -the material of washi) and pounding Kozo fibers into pulp.

The step of “Kamisuki (papermaking)” often appears in the media, but first we need the materials (barks of paper mulberry) to make paper.

Beginning with field work,
which takes a lot of time and effort to make the paper mulberry, or kozo, ready for use.

Throughout the process, I think there is a charm of paper manufacturing that is connected to nature.

There is the Niyodo River and there are the mountains.
The intersection of human life and nature.
I wish I could get you an opportunity to feel it and think here.

This workshop will allow participants to experience a deeper hands-on understanding of the process of Washi.
