White Hemp Leaf Washi Paper Table Runner

This table runner is made of Tosa Washi Paper and is designed in a hemp leaf pattern. The unique feature of this item is that it comes in a roll of 3m(9.8ft) and can be custom cut to fit different table sizes.  

The white hemp leaf pattern is made with a technique called "Rakusui." Rakusui is a traditional technique where washi is placed on a mold with patterns and then showered with water to create the distinctive designs on the washi.

The washi with the hemp leaf pattern is applied onto another layer of washi giving the table runner a double-layer structure. This technique of making double-layered paper is called "Sukiawase."

The table runner can be conveniently cut to a suitable length to fit any table or cupboard top. It can also be placed on cupboard shelves to protect the surface from scratches or to decorate the shelves. The washi rolls out smoothly without any wrinkles or tears and is strong and durable. It is a wonderful item that will add a touch of elegance to a tabletop.

Tosa Washi Paper is Japanese paper made in Ino-cho, Kochi Prefecture, and around Tosa City. Together with Fukui Prefecture's Echizen Washi and Gifu Prefecture's Mino Washi, Tosa Washi is one of the three major types of Washi. Known for its gentle touch and warm texture, it was designated as a traditional craft in 1976 because of its fine quality.
