Yame Handmade Japanese Paper
(Chinaberry used for
the frames)
This paper is very durable. It is said that this paper began to be made more than 400 years ago, when Nichigen, a monk from Echizen, found that the Yabe River's geography and water quality were suitable for papermaking, and taught the local people how to make paper.
Jyojima Onigawara
The history of Jyojima Onigawara or goblin-mask tiles started when the Arima family took over control of the Kurume domain. Recognized for their beautiful gloss, refined shapes and extraordinary durability, the Jyojima Onigawara have been widely used to ward off evil in shrines, temples and traditional Japanese houses across the Kyushu region.
Kurume Kasuri Textile
A bundle of cotton threads is tied with a hemp rope and dyed with indigo to create a mottled pattern. The threads of that bundle are woven into threads from another bundle with a different pattern to produce textile with a wide variety of patterns. Kurume Kasuri, invented in the Edo period by the daughter of the rice merchant Den Inoue, is now loved by many people as a representative example of Japanese kasuri culture.
Okawa Kumiko Openwork(Door)
Boasting a history of approximately 300 years, this openwork comes in more than 200 patterns resulting from an assembly of wooden sticks. The openwork looks fragile, but since the components are assembled precisely to engage with one another, it is actually as sturdy as a single plate.
Hakataori Textile
Hakataori, a thick textile featuring fusenmon and ryujyo patterns, dates back approximately 780 years, after some Japanese mastered a textile production technique in China, introduced it into Japan, and improved upon it. A man’s obi (sash) of the textile is especially highly regarded because the obi does not loosen until the evening after it is tied in the morning. This obi is the best example demonstrating the properties of this textile, with silk threads being painstakingly and robustly woven into the fabric.
Yame Garden Lantern
This stone lantern is made of tuff, which is mined in abundance in the local area. The stone is light, soft, and easily weathered, but is resistant to cold and heat and gathers stone moss (moss growing on stone surfaces) quickly, making it suitable as a material for garden lanterns.
Kokura Textile
This is a thick, durable, and smooth cotton textile. Using thread dyed in advance, weaving is performed so that the warp will be arranged more densely than the weft. This enables striped patterns to be formed on the textile. The color shades of the patterns exude a dignified, crisp atmosphere and produce a three-dimensional effect.
