Shimanto Newspaper Bags!
In Kochi, one can purchase bags made using reused newspapers!
Shimanto newspaper bags – an art, and also a beautiful marriage between Japanese “mottainai” culture (a concept of respecting and not wasting resources) and origami techniques.
These environmentally friendly bags come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from standard shopping bags to baskets and purses with cross designs, and even fish-shaped bags!
And not only are these bags great for the environment, but a part of their proceeds go to Shimanto region’s environmental conservation projects!
