Mr Kikuchi Hiroshi is making the big Japanese Paint paper (日本画紙全紙=160cmx78cm), using local high-quality Nasu Kozo. That size is already quite rare because of the difficulty of making. It is made by two men himself and his cousin. There are many big fans of the paper.
There is a long history of the Kikuchi family's paper-making since hundreds of years, additionally, his grandmother came from Mino, therefore this workshop method is being slightly influenced by Mino’s way.
