Fukui Prefecture
For more than 1,500 years, artisans in the town of Echizen, Fukui Prefecture have been making their own unique variation of traditional Japanese paper known as washi – all processed by hand and in the same manner for centuries. Iwano Ichibei is the 9th generation in his family of papermakers and his washi is considered by many as the greatest in Japan.
