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.

The Beauty of Traditional Etiquette

In the early days, Tan paper was made from the bark of the Mayumi tree from the Pittosporaceae family. Because the fibers were quite hard, it was quite difficult to produce. Later, the Kozo tree from the Moraceae family was used instead. In Japanese, it's called "Kozo". This allowed for the creation of high-quality paper with a wrinkled texture resembling pear skin and a certain thickness.

In Shintoism, Tan paper is considered a sacred object capable of warding off evil spirits. It is also used for naming ceremonies, writing materials related to shrines, and as hair ornaments for shrine maidens.

"Shin-Tan paper" recreates the characteristics of handmade Tan paper using modern papermaking techniques. It features the traditional Tan paper pattern on one side and its thick texture. "Kirara," on the other hand, not only inherits the pattern but also adds a beautiful pearl-like luster to the surface, making it suitable for various modern artistic purposes.

伝統の礼儀の美

初期の檀紙はマユミ科の檀(まゆみ)を原料としており、繊維が非常に硬く、製作は非常に困難でした。後に桑科のコウゾが採用され、日本の漢字で「楮」と表記され、梨皮のようなしわと厚みのある高級和紙が再現されました。

日本の神道では、檀紙は悪魔を追い払い邪悪を避ける力があると考えられており、名前の命名や神社に関連する書き物、巫女の髪を束ねるためにも使用されています。

「新壇紙」は、手造り檀紙の特徴を現代の製紙技術で再現し、伝統的な檀紙の模様と厚みのある手触りを片面に再現しています。一方、「Kirara」は、模様を継承しつつ、表面に美しいパールのような輝きを加え、さらに現代のさまざまな美術用途に適した製品となっています。

傳統的禮儀之美

早期的檀紙,是以衛矛科的檀(まゆみ)作為原料,由於纖維相當堅硬,製作時相當不易,後來採用了桑科的構樹,日本的漢字為「楮」,仿製出具有像是梨皮狀皺摺且帶有厚度的高級和紙。

由於日本神道教認為檀紙是一種能夠驅魔避邪的神聖之物,也用在名字的命名、神社有關的書寫物、及巫女作為束髮之用。

「新壇紙」則是將手造檀紙的特徵以現代造紙技術重現,以單面復刻傳統的壇紙紋路及其厚實手感為特點,「Kirara」則是承繼了紋路以外,在表面增添了美麗的珍珠光澤,更能貼近現代的各種美術用途使用。
