Mount Fuji Postcard “Sun & Moon”
This playful postcard is cut in the shape of Mount Fuji, with the sun printed on one side and the moon on the other. Made in Minobu, Yamanashi Prefecture—a town with views of Mount Fuji—its design is inspired by the reflection of Fuji on Lake Motosu, famously featured on the 1,000-yen note. A charming choice for letters, including for friends overseas.

The Skilled Craft Behind Washi
Traditional washi is made from natural fibers such as kozo, mitsumata, and gampi. These fibers undergo labor-intensive preparation—stripping, de-ashing, boiling, removing impurities by hand, and beating to soften the fibers—before they are ready for sheet formation. Artisans then expertly manipulate bamboo screens in techniques such as nagashi-zuki and tame-zuki, controlling thickness and texture with precision. The sheets are stacked, dehydrated, dried, and individually checked, polished, and finished by hand. This meticulous process, refined over centuries, is what gives each sheet of washi its unique texture, strength, and subtle beauty.
