From our Toronto, Ontario warehouse, we wholesale imported Japanese papers to resellers, manufacturers and artists around the world. Our facility includes a 10,000 foot warehouse, a full-time cutter and production staff as well as our office area, workshop space and Artist Resource Centre.

We continue to host regular workshops at the warehouse, organized to offer instruction and inspiration in using the papers of Japan, so full of creative potential. What do people DO with it? Join us at one of our workshops to find out!

If you are a fine artist or conservator loking for the widest range of high-quality Japanese papers, you will want to visit The Japanese Paper Place on Brock Avenue. Here, to buy your paper, we can work with you one on one in our Artist Resource Centre, looking at works of art on various papers we stock, helping you to get just the paper you need for whatever medium you work in. Please note we sell only our non-wholesale fine papers to individuals at this location. Call or email us for an appointment.

"What happened to the store?"

In October 2005, the store at 887 Queen Street West in Toronto changed its name and ownership. The Japanese Paper Place became The Paper Place, and the owners became Heather Sauer and Kevin Anderson.

What has remained constant is the ready availability on Queen Street West of a wide array of Japanese Papers, supplied by The Japanese Paper Place, sold through The Paper Place. Specializing in paper for craft of all kinds, gift-wrapping, invitation, and other printable applications, The Paper Place is where enthusiasts need to go for these end-uses.

The mission of The Japanese Paper Place remains “To encourage and promote creativity through the sale of quality Japanese papers and related materials.” Our 23 years on Queen Street West were incredible, as we have watched it change from “no-man’s land” to the trend-centre it is today, seeing the customer base transform from predominantly artists to younger up-scale urbanites, professionals and home-owners.

Japanese papers have much to offer both worlds, and it seemed time to separate the two audiences to look after each appropriately - with total dedication and service. I trust that The Paper Place at 887 Queen Street West will be a continuing mecca for paper-lovers and The Japanese Paper Place on Brock Avenue will continue to be the centre from which Japanese paper gradually gains its rightful place as one of the world’s unparalleled creative resources.
