About Furukawashiko 古川紙工
Established in 1835 during the late Edo period, Furukawashiko is a storied manufacturer based in Mino, Gifu Prefecture, the heart of Japan’s 1,300-year-old Mino Washi tradition. For nearly two centuries, the company has preserved this UNESCO-recognized craft by translating it into modern "wa-stationery" (和文具, stationery that highlights Japanese heritage). They are particularly world-renowned for their charming, palm-sized mini letter sets—and the nostalgic “Watashi Biyori” (私日和) series. By collaborating with contemporary illustrators for limited-edition collections, Furukawashiko bridges ancient paper-making heritage with a playful, retro aesthetic, ensuring the tactile beauty of washi remains a vibrant part of everyday creative writing.
