The origin of Echizen washi paper dates back about 1400 years ago, when Kawakami Gozen, the favorite consort of Emperor Otono (later Emperor Keitai), taught the villagers how to make it. Echizen washi paper has a unique elegant color and a warm texture that soothes the heart. In addition, it is durable and has excellent strength. We have created a calendar that conveys the heart using this Echizen washi paper.
