Paper brand Kunisawa has a motto,“ I do not seek, I find.”

In Japan, we have a long history with paper. From the old days washi (paper) for calligraphy, shoji paper doors, paintings, to more modern times of notebooks. Our ink and paper must be perfect. Poets, architects, designers, office workers, and students, pretty much everyone expects a level of perfection when it comes to paper meets pen or brush. In Japanese we say, "Atarimae", which means, "of course"!

Kunisawa paper company stands with this tradition.

The shape is inspired by our history with paper that reminds us of the fragrance of ink with a silky touch. Shimbashi's craftsmanship hopes to bring their history and craftsmanship that is affordable for everyone.
