Pink Plum Blossom Washi Paper Place Mats

This place mat is made of Tosa Washi Paper and has a plum blossom pattern.  Plum blossoms have been a favorite flower in Japan for a long time, and are a motif often used in kimonos and tableware. The plum blossoms are considered to be auspicious, as they are the first to bloom as soon as the cold winter has passed, making people feel happy and announcing the beginning of the new season.

This Washi paper has a double structure, and the Washi paper with a white pattern on it is made by a technique called "Rakusui". Rakusi is a traditional technique to make a pattern on washi paper by dropping water. The technique of making a double-layered paper by applying another sheet of washi on the back of the Rakusui paper is called "Sukiawase".

This place mat is perfect for an individual serving. In addition to being used as a regular place mat, they are also great to place under items displayed on a shelf.

Washi paper does not dissolve when washed and does not tear easily, even if folded many times. This place mat can also be used repeatedly by washing it lightly by hand and drying it, and if it gets wrinkled, it can be ironed. When ironing, it is recommended to iron from the reverse side to keep the texture intact.
