Yūzen Washi Foldable Pen Holder

This foldable pen holder is made from Echizen washi, Japanese paper produced in the Echizen area of Fukui Prefecture. Washi is a highly versatile, durable paper made from long fibres from the bark of kōzo, mitsumata or gampi plants. Due to it’s fabric-like texture, washi is particularly suitable for printing, and as a result is often adorned with decorative patterns. These patterned papers are called chiyogami and sometimes also referred to as yūzen, because their colourful designs often resemble the elaborate patterns of kimono dyed with the kyo-yūzen dyeing technique. The repetitive patterns feature classic Japanese motifs, often auspicious in meaning and hand-printed using silkscreens and vivid bright colours.

Avoid moisture and open flames.
