[About "Uki-gami"] The paper is named "Uki-gami" because its unique manufacturing process creates distinct raised textures on the surface, making the patterns appear to float. The precision of the edges in the textured patterns is a result of our proprietary technique, which creates a more three-dimensional effect than standard embossing. This technique allows for sharper edges and more intricate dimensional designs compared to conventional embossing. The pigments applied to the surface not only provide vibrant colors but also resist fading from abrasion and sun exposure. Furthermore, the raised textures create shadows that shift with the angle of light, adding to its charm. While the colors might initially make it seem unlike traditional Japanese paper, its texture reveals the authentic feel of washi upon touch. [Notes] - As each item is handmade, the pattern and color distribution may vary slightly from product to product. - Minor color variations or slight indentations on the underside of the flap are part of the handmade character and should be expected. - As the surface is treated with pigment, there is a possibility of color transfer to other items if rubbed. - Please avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. - Handle with care to avoid moisture. Water can cause the washi paper to peel. - Keep away from open flames. - The image on the packaging is for illustrative purposes only. Color variations may occur due to differences in screen settings on your device. - As washi paper is made from natural materials, you may observe plant husks, fibers, or oil components within the paper. These are natural characteristics and do not affect usability.
