Izumo Folk-craft paper is made from soft, smooth fibers from Kozo, Mitsumata, and Gampi plants. They are dyed according to centuries old traditions in the Yakumo area of
Southern Matsue, and the late Abe Eishiro, a National Living Treasure, expanded on those techniques with modern artistic sense. You can learn more and make some of this paper yourself at
Abe Eishiro Memorial Museum.
