Paper Shopping Guide
Paula sent me a link to her great guide to paper shops in Tokyo at Paula’s OriHouse. It’s mostly related to origami paper but her notes will let you know if they also sell washi. She’s provided directions and maps and a few photos of the shops so you should be able to find your way there pretty easily. The information is in both English and Dutch. If you’re an origami fan, this should be very helpful.

Hi,
I will be traveling to Japan within a few weeks. I am looking for places that sell alot of Japanese papers. Do you have a list of stores/shops that carry Japanese Washi Papers Full sheet sizes. I saw a photo on the internet, a lady was standing next to rolls and rolls of colorful Japanese paper patterned designs. The full sheet papers are upstairs and the origami papers are downstairs.
I would like to open a Japanese Paper store and gifts but need to find direct resources or factories that makes the washi papers.
thank you in adavnce,
Natori
Hi Natori – the only paper shops I know of specifically are Itoya and Kurodaya which are in my shopping guide. They both sell large sheets of washi.
