Visiting Ichibei Iwano 2012.09.29
Mr.Ichibei Iwano is a living national treasure.
Once you see his paper, soon you'll know why they say his paper has the best quality in the world. It's just like a textile made from 100% kozo material....
I often visit him to make an arrangement to guide people around in the village. They cannot miss him to understand Echizen Washi.
This week I had a nice visitor from US and he also seemed to enjoy meeting Mr. Ichibei Iwano.
