from The Unfinished Print : A Mokuhanga Podcast · host Andre Zadorozny
In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I introduce you to a papermaking community in Saitama Prefecture, Japan — Ogawa Washi. In Ogawa and Higashi-Chichibu, papermakers have been producing washi for over 1,300 years with studios continuing to operate there today. I had the opportunity to speak with Seiko Musashi about the history of the area, who is making paper now, and how these paper making studios continue even as generations change and family lines shift.
