Tosawashi Inoue Tesuki Kobo
土佐和紙 井上手漉き工房 (Tosawashi Inoue Tesuki Kobo)
Craft your own one-and-only Tosa Washi by hand
Paper is a gift from nature.
In Kochi, a region blessed with abundant natural beauty, the traditional craft of Tosa Washi has been passed down for more than a thousand years.
If you’re looking for a truly special travel memory, why not make your own one-of-a-kind sheet of Tosa Washi and take a piece of Kochi’s nature home with you?
At Tosawashi Inoue Tesuki Kobo(studio), located along the lower reaches of the
Niyodo River, the papermaking process follows time-honored methods using only natural materials—pure river water and high-quality kozo (mulberry).
No chemicals are used, preserving a sustainable, nature-friendly approach to this beautiful handcraft.
The studio offers a variety of experiences: easy beginner-friendly papermaking, creating washi lampshades or collage artworks, and even full-process workshops where you can try everything from peeling the kozo bark to boiling, pounding, and sheet-forming.
At Tosawashi Inoue Tesuki Kobo, you can feel the wisdom and aesthetics of Japan’s long tradition of living in harmony with nature.
We invite you to come and experience it for yourself.
