Handmade Japanese Paper Washi you'll find nowhere else.
The hariko is a Japanese toy of papier-mache, usually old recylced Japanese paper washi. Many kinds of hariko can be found throughout Japan. In the Osaka region, where I have lived for a few years, the hariko takes the form of tiger. I have been collecting them since since the start of my washi business, hence the name "Hariko Paper".
Hariko Paper was born from my desire to share the traditional art craft of Japanese washi paper and its culture that I have been exploring for several years, as well as a lack of connection between the Japanese artisans and washi enthusiasts.
On Hariko Paper, most of the papers that I supply are made in small ateliers throughout Japan. I went to meet the craftspeople, and bring you back papers that are available nowhere else. Those washi, which are of excellent quality and produced on a confidential scale, are the result of passed-down tradition and each artisan's personal research.
Available at affordable prices, the washi on Hariko Paper have multiple uses and are equally suitable for origamists, creators, photographers, calligraphers, interior designers, engravers, sculptors, painters and artists looking for a new matter to work with.
