Precious Pieces is proud to present a line of the highest quality handmade Japanese paper with a broad range of applications. At the heart of Japanese Papers is washi, the time-honored art of paper-making. With a history of over 1500 years, washi is a highly respected craft involving the skills of brilliant artisans and the labor of entire villages.
Prized as much for its beauty as for its utility, washi is made from a wide variety of plant fibers, including paper mulberry, shikoku daphne, bamboo, rice and wheat. The result is both durable and lightweight, and lends itself beautifully to everything from wedding invitations and gift wrapping to lighting and interior design applications. The finest examples of washi are now brought to you by Precious Pieces
