Window decoration snowflake

Wetted with a little water, these ice crystal shaped objects made of Japanese paper can be easily applied to windows and other glass surfaces. When dry, the fine paper unfolds its delicate fiber fluff and begins its play with light and shadow. Removable and reusable.

These products are all made by hand in a small manufactory in Mino, dried and bleached naturally in the sun. Thanks to the particularly long fibers, they only stick to glass when moistened with water and are removable and reusable when dry. Mino is a picturesque little town in Gifu Prefecture and is proud of its over 1300 years of paper history. To this day, the special knowledge is passed on to the next generation by master craftsmen. Thanks to the clear and abundant waters of the Nagara and Itadori rivers, paper from Mino is among the finest in the country. Japanese paper is also called washi, washi from Mino is therefore called Mino-Washi™ (wa = Japan, shi = paper).
