Mr. Fukunishi in Yoshino2014.10.02

 I didn't know that Mr. Fukunishi passed away this summer. My friends from the Netherlands told me about the news. 

I met him in Tokyo when a paper conference was held several years ago. He was surrounded by many people and talked about his paper. 

Then just recently I found an article about papermaking in Yoshino, and the fact that he died was mentioned there. It says he kept saying ` Paper made with local kozo and local water can be called Yoshino Washi. ` 

Well, what is Echizen Washi ? 

We don't use local kozo very much. 

I have to remember what he said.
