Kyoto Craftsmen Dyeing Japanese Modern Miscellaneous Goods | Special Collection of Hand-Dyed Japanese Paper Products
This is a paper product series by Fuwa Market that fuses traditional Japanese techniques with modern design. Using hand-dyed Japanese paper carefully dyed at an old Kyoto dyeing workshop, we craft practical and refined miscellaneous goods such as pen cases, goshuincho (temple stamp books), and tea canisters, each handmade with care.
The Traditional Technique of "Hand Dyeing" by Kyoto Maruyama Dyeing Workshop
The Maruyama Dyeing Workshop, an old Kyoto dyeing workshop, has inherited the technique of hand-pulled dyeing over many years. Skilled craftsmen carefully dye each piece one by one, producing subtle gradations and unique blends of colors that cannot be achieved by machine dyeing. The gentle touch is truly captivating.
The beauty of the hand-dyed Japanese paper
The completed Japanese paper is soft like cloth and has a firm texture. The patterns blending Japanese and modern styles naturally give a refined presence suitable for everyday use.
Careful Craftsmanship at a Kyoto Packaging Workshop
Delicate handiwork
The hand-dyed Japanese paper is carefully processed one by one by craftsmen at a Kyoto packaging workshop. From stretching the paper, corner finishing, to the beauty of the final product, the delicate craftsmanship is a hallmark.

Crafting with the Region and Society Hand in Hand: The Work of Fuwa Market
Fuwa Market values not only making and selling products but also cherishes crafting things hand in hand with the local craftsmen, workshops, and welfare facilities.
Part of the packaging and tagging preparations for original products is conducted in cooperation with welfare facilities that support people with disabilities. By delivering warmth through delicate handiwork as part of the product, we nurture connections with the local community through manufacturing.
Fuwa Market considers itself a brand that is both a transmitter of traditional crafts and design, and also one that walks together with the region and society.
