Japanese-style paper Box
This boxes are made by pasting Japanese-style paper, such as "Chiyogami", onto a paper box that has been formed using cardboard. Chiyogami is Japanese paper with traditional patterns and designs. Some patterns range from simple to gorgeous. The most popular theory is that it originated in Kyoto.
It was introduced from Kyoto to Edo in the latter half of the 18th century. The names of chiyogami differed between those made in Kyoto and those made in Edo. Those made in Kyoto were called "Kyo chiyogami" and those made in Edo were called "Edo chiyogami. In Edo, ukiyoe artists began to draw drafts of chiyogami and it developed.
Gradually, the technology advanced and mass production began at once. Daughters of samurai families loved the beauty of Chiyogami and began to wrap gifts and sweets. Because of the culture of gift-giving and the ability to mass produce it, Chiyogami has remained a favorite of the Japanese people to this day.

It is a durable fabric that has been used for kimono since ancient times.

It is also used as women's clothing fabric, and is used for various items such as blouses, jackets, coats, dresses, skirts, and pants. The characteristic of Chirimen is the clearly defined surface grain. These ripples prevent wrinkles and give the fabric a soft and supple texture to the touch.
It is also used as a dyed fabric, and the reflections of the unevenness created by the grain can express beautiful hues, resulting in deep and unique colors.

Furoshiki
The time dates back to the Nara and Heian periods. Daimyo (feudal lords) sat on a cloth and enjoyed elegant bathing time to prevent burns from the hot steam baths. That cloth was the "Furoshiki" .
The word "Furoshiki" is said to have originated from the word meaning "something laid out in the bath.
Furoshiki can be used to wrap items in a variety of ways, without being limited by the size or shape of the item being wrapped. One of the charms of Furoshiki is that it can be used not only as a wrapping cloth, but also as a cloth for daily life, and can be freely arranged for various purposes. It is also popular as an eco-friendly bag or an item for disaster prevention because it folds up small when not in use and is light enough not to get in the way when carrying it around.

Tosa-Washi wrapping
The history of washi in Tosa (present-day Kochi Prefecture) is long, with a record of paper production dating back 1100 years, in a book called Engishiki.
During the feudal domain era, there was a specially protected position of "official paper-maker" who made paper for use by the Tosa domain. It is also well known that the paper was offered to the Shogunate as a specialty product, dyed paper in persimmon, yellow, purple, peach, mellow yellow (light green), light yellow (light blue), and blue, called "Tosa seven-color paper". It is evident that the high technology of paper making and dyeing of Tosa Washi was already highly valued at that time.
The Tosa-Washi we would like to introduce is a hemp leaf pattern. Hemp leaves grow quickly and straight, so the hemp leaf pattern is associated with the wish for the healthy growth of a child. This pattern also has the meaning of repelling evil spirits, and has been widely used as a pattern for maternity clothes since ancient times. It is a wish for the healthy growth of your children and grandchildren.
