Noto-Nigyō Washi is quite unique, definitely one and only. Mr Tohmi Shusaku invented the Yashu-shi, stuffing wild plants in 1949. It contains Flower, Straw, Cedar Bark, Seaweed, Shell and even field Soil. That is truly the aggregation of Noto peninsula wildlife.
That Cedar Bark paper was used for the book-cover by Mr Bernard Leach, who was the leader of “Japanese folk-art movement(日本民藝運動)”.
The Shusaku's grand-son Mr Tohmi Kazuyuki keeps developing how to make the beautiful paper as his grandfather did.
