Antique Japanese Kakishibu Dyed Recycled Paper Tatoushi
$150.00Price
An antique Japanese tatoushi (traditional wrapping paper) made from recycled Japanese paper and dyed with kakishibu, a natural persimmon tannin dye.
Tatoushi was traditionally used in Japan to wrap and protect clothing, textiles, and other personal belongings.
The surface features handwritten Japanese characters, layers of old writing, and rich earthy tones developed through the application of persimmon tannin and years of aging.
The creases, worn edges, and traces of previous use reflect the Japanese tradition of reusing and repurposing materials.
A unique piece of Japanese everyday history, where paper, calligraphy, and the beauty of age come together.
