In Japan, numerous traditional cultures are preserved and are existing up to today.
Many of those cultures can be easily found in our everyday lives, but those have been developed and polished by the professional craftsmen.
“Washi,” meaning Japanese paper, can often be found in places like Japanese restaurants.
Washi is also one of the Japanese traditional cultures, being passed down from 1400 years ago.
