Mr.Ichibei Iwano ( 79 ), the 9th of the Iwanos and the living national treasure in papermaking, and the son ( 47 ) , the 10th are putting wet papers on the wood board to be dry. The family has about 300 years history. Mr. Ichibei's father was also designated as a living national treasure in 1968.

They spend all the time together in papermaking : )

This is how the paper families in Echizen Washi are like.

Nice.
