Tanabata refers to an annual festival also known as the "star festival", where people write wishes on small pieces of coloured paper and hang them in bamboo trees. Kurotani Tanabata is handmade in the oldest continuous papermaking village in Japan, where they have been making paper for over 800 years. Made from 100% Japanese kozo fibre with colourful paper inclusions, this washi can add a unique charm to your work. Strong and absorbent, it is suitable for a wide range of applications, including printmaking, lampmaking, and painting. Heritage Washi (HW)
