The traditional textile "Shifu" (paper cloth), manufactured by Tsushima Textile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. on Etajima Island in Hiroshima Bay, is woven from durable paper material. It is highly regarded for its excellent moisture absorption and breathability, earning it the name "breathing wallpaper."
This product has been upcycled into a valuable item using dead stock rolls of shifu fabric manufactured during the Showa era. It maintains the same quality as regular shifu textiles and includes pieces woven with techniques that are now difficult to reproduce, making it exceptionally rare. Enjoy the beauty of Japan’s traditional textiles in your daily life.
