1000 years have past since the 1st Japanese novel was published. This is amazing partly because Japanese people started writing novels in such an early period but mainly because Japanese paper has contributed to the long-existence of the novel. Traditional Japanese paper called WASHI is beautiful and strong. It can last as long as several hundreds years. By using this traditional Japanese paper, you can enjoy making baskets, plates, or boxes with a kind advise from instructor.
