The Japanese artisan masters the art of ‘karakami’ (decorative paper), an age-old craft dating back to eighth-century Japan, where when paper crafted in Tang China was used by aristocrats for writing letters and poetry. In his studio and shop named ‘Kamisoe’ in Kyoto’s Nishijin district, Ko Kado produces this fine paper according to the ancient tradition, blending it with contemporary aesthetics.
