Jūmonji is the northern end place of Washi making in Japan together with Narushima. People have been making rustic papers for local usage, ex: paper cloth, harvest sac, and so on.
Mr Sasaki Kiyoo is a vegetable and fruits farmer from spring until autumn. In winter, under the snow-covered village, he makes papers the same as his grandfather did.
Recently, the 10+ villagers built a team to support his washi-making. We hope that Kozo cultivating, Material treatment, Washi making can be passed to the next generations.

* Generally, "Jūmonji" means "horizontal and vertical crossing". Although this case is the name of the village, in Washi industry, it also indicates the scooping method of Mino.
