Brand Story: The Timeless Beauty of Yuzen Washi

Japanese washi paper embodies the essence of traditional aesthetics. Even a single origami crane made from Yuzen washi can express a deep cultural heritage.

What is Yuzen Washi?

Yuzen washi is a type of Japanese paper featuring intricate patterns inspired by Yuzen dyeing techniques. The term "Yuzen" traces its origins back to the Edo period (1603–1868). At that time, the ruling shogunate implemented a strict sumptuary law called "Shashikinshirei," which prohibited extravagant decorations such as gold and silver embroidery on kimonos. In response, artisans developed the Yuzen dyeing method as a way to incorporate detailed, colorful patterns within the regulations.

This exquisite painting-like technique quickly gained popularity among commoners, and the name "Yuzen" is said to have been derived from "Miyazaki Yūzensai," a renowned artist who favored these intricate designs. Today, Yuzen washi continues to captivate with its blend of refined elegance and vivid colors, making it a cherished material for crafts, origami, and art projects worldwide.
