Haibara opened its doors in the Nihonbashi district of Edo (now Tokyo) in 1806. From its heyday as a purveyor of fine washi paper in the nineteenth century through the turbulent years of Japan’s modernization and beyond, it has continued to add grace to everyday life through originally designed paper products tailored to the needs and tastes of each age. Among the artists who contributed designs for its merchandise are Takehisa Yumeji, Shibata Zeshin, Kawase Hasui and Kawanabe Kyosai.
The book showcases some 200 products and items, including nearly fifty superlative examples of colourful woodblock-printed chiyogami paper.
