In Yanagiu, there are 400 years of paper-making history in this district since the famous Lord "Date Masamune" era.
The Sato family has maintained 10 generations of paper-making at the same place. Ms Sato Fumie decided to retire at the age of 90 in 2019. Her daughter Keiko took over the workshop to continue the history.
The paper is used for various local unique folk-art, like "Dharuma doll", paper cloth, paper muffler and so on.
