RAKUSUI the waterdrop washi

Unfortunately, the Rakusui maker stopped the production of this beautiful paper.

We will search for a similar quality and will update soon!

 

 

Rakusui is made by sprinkling water on the washi surface during the production process. That is how the "holes" appear!

A traditional technique from the island of Shikoku in the south of Japan, where Rakusui is handmade roll by roll.


The Japanese flower designers call our Washi the best quality of Rakusui, as it tears into very long fibers, therefore turning into especially beautiful designs.

Tip

Draw a line with water, wait for some seconds, then tear the Rakusui Washi gently apart.

This technique preserves the long fibers which are typically for the Greengabes Rakusui.
