Echizen washi is said to have a history of 1500 years. A record remains that it was enshrined in Shoshin, a place where treasures have been kept since the Nara & Heian periods.
The “Echizen Fools Washi, Fukuno Cocochi Notebook” has been created using Echizen washi paper born from new technology and the art texture fabric of Tatsumura, a long-established store in Nishijin, Kyoto. The luxury writing washi paper has good compatibility with the aqueous ink of fountain pens etc., the characteristic gentle texture of washi that provides a pleasant writing sensation, tautness and firmness.A notebook in a pocket size.

Shishikari-Mon Nishiki
This is a modified design from a brocade of the "Beaded Medallions Enclosing Four Mounted Lion Hunters" preserved in Horyuji Temple in Nara since the 7th Century. The original design consists of two pairs of kings mounted on horseback shooting lions that are asymmetrically arranged on either side of a flowering tree with a pearl roundel which is characteristic of the Sassanian Dynasty of Persia. The manufacturer has attempted to transfer the ambitious theme of this ancient brocade to a warp-patterned brocade, eliminating the flowering tree and depicting only one hunter and a lion, while adding a gorgeous blossom design at the corners.
