[Mino Japanese paper is Japanese paper made in Gifu prefecture. Mino is a land rich in nature, and since it is an environment where used paper, which is the raw material of Japanese paper, is also collected, used paper has been made since the Nara period, and records remain at Shosoin in Nara. The coexistence of thinness, durability and beauty is a major feature of Mino Washi. The beauty of excellent materials is born from the skill of craftsmen in making paper. During the Edo period, the Tokugawa Shogunate was also a supplier of the finest paper. ]
