Heritage of Mino Handmade Paper

Mino hand-pulled paper carries a history spanning over 1,300 years, closely connected to traditional Japanese crafts such as lanterns and screens. The papermaking heritage of the Mino region relies on essential natural materials like kozo fiber and tororo-aoi, a mucilage that allows plant fibers to suspend evenly in water, enabling the refined nagashi-zuki papermaking technique. Representing this lineage, the Hon-Mino-shi used for the shade of this table lamp is crafted by hand by members of the Hon-Mino-shi Preservation Association using techniques recognized on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Ieda Shiko: Preserving the Art of Gifu Lantern Paper

Founded in 1889, Ieda Shiko began as a wholesaler of handmade Mino washi paper before establishing itself as a specialist in paper for traditional Gifu lanterns. Based in Gifu, the workshop has spent generations refining paper processing and delicate stencil printing techniques designed to enhance warm light. Its craftspeople work on thin paper, balancing rich shading, color variety, and precision to honor centuries of decorative lantern artistry.
