serene aged cool and calm this place without an image of it has been a place i could retreat to mentally
"During the early part of the day the weather was very cool and calm. The workshop, called Yakumo Mura, is located amongst many rice fields and pleasant hills.
The calming atmosphere followed us inside the museum and shop, which are part of the paper workshop. Many of the lamps inside gave off pleasing light, because their shades were made of the taro root paper. Before we were to try our own hand at making this paper, we watched an old video, probably dating from the 1980’s, about the history and importance of this specific technique for making paper. The video called for the preservation of this traditional Japanese art.
After the video we were given the chance to make a sheet of paper for ourselves."
