In the Heian era, Karakami, which became synonymous with "Bran paper", was affixed to the bran of the era when it came from the Tang nation. The Goshu Stamp Book, which is the company's specialty, is carefully finished with foil stamping using gold foil (silver foil) and reproduces the bookbinding technique of Kokin Wakashu. We have carefully manufactured the Japanese mind, such as a Japanese binding book and a seal book, which make use of "Sarasa", one of the techniques of Karagami. We record fun memories such as anniversaries and travels, and include wishes for long use.
