The simplicity and purity of the material constantly question contemporary popular elements. In an era of over-design and information overload, it seems to call out to me, urging a return to essence, exploring the existential value between things. Design's purpose is not just innovation in form but achieving resonance with the soul, touching delicate and genuine emotions.

The exploration of paper has become a reflection on life and the meaning of existence for me. Paper, an item overlooked in daily life, how can it allow design to transcend visuals and reach the depths of the soul? This is a challenge for designers and also a process of seeking my answers.

Cloud-Dragon Paper is made from the bark of the paper mulberry, white kozo, mitsumata, mountain cotton, and wood pulp. It is entirely handcrafted, and its unique appearance is determined by the beautiful bark and fibers used as raw materials. In addition to its excellent ink absorption, the paper's natural plant fibers provide durability and breathability, making it widely used for packaging in Japan.
