His paper is well known as `hosho` used for `ukiyoe`, Japanese woodblock printing because it is very strong using 100% kozo fiber.
Every time I visit him, I find him look like having somthing deeper inside of himself.
He makes paper which lasts more than one thousand years, but generally people don't really know the importance of that... But if you touch his paper, you would probably feel something. I hope more people can make his paper useful with their art or art works. And I want to be one of them.
