  • 40. Washi Paper 和紙 traditional Japanese paper is made from the fibres of plants. The nature of the fibre enables absorption of inks and dyes.  Since the fibre position themselves at random, there is no consistent grain to washi which makes this type of paper resistant to creasing, tearing and wrinkling.  Traditionally made Japanese washi paper is acid free. Some washi paper remains in good condition after 1000 years.  For centuries, colorful designs applied by woodblock have been made for decorative use.  Washi is traditionally used in screens, lamps and blinds, taking advantage of its translucency. The village of Higashi Chichibu in Saitama Prefecture stretches along the banks of the Ogawa River, the clear water from which traditional washi paper-making has been produced in this region for hundreds of years. Flower petals and different types of grasses are added to the basic pulp to create different colors, designs and textures.

  • The lotus flower grows out of muddy ponds and display pink or white flowers that survive for only a few days in summer. The flowers open at dawn and shut themselves up by afternoon. This short lived blossoming suggests reincarnation which is why it is always used as a symbol for Buddhism.  The leaves and petals symbolize the perpetual cycle of existence.  The pure flowers arising from the dirt and mud symbolize the enlightenment any person is capable of achieving no matter its origins.  Many Buddhist images, rest on an open lotus. After blooming, the lotus retains its beauty in a different form - the seed pod has a distinctive, honeycomb shower nozzle shape.  The long roots are edible and are used in many traditional Japanese foods.
