Kyogi, these are 100% natural, unbleached, thinly shaved sheets "akamatsu", "red pine", botanically Pinus densiflora, original products from Japan, traditionally used for food wrapping. Seen by European eyes, it has a Scandinavian touch with its light wooden color and mat surface.
Kyogi can be rolled, twisted, cut, teared, stenciled, painted on, tinted, dyed, glued and stapled into many shapes. It allows your creativity to run wild! Kyogi is a natural material which changes with the seasons. Not any bunch is the same, but actually this is what makes Kyogi so beautiful: the variations of shades and tones.
We offer Kyogi as loose sheets and in bunches.
