Making Fans / Part 2 ( 1 )2013.06.10

I was asked to make fans with `washi `...... Well, while I was making, I kept wondering ` What is washi ??? `

I would have to leave its texture so that people can feel washi when they look at it.

My image for washi was very different from what it is here before I started papermaking, for I didn't know `gampi ` ` kozo` and `mitsumata ` themselves,  which are the main three materials in papermaking in Japan.

The person asked me to make doesn't do any papermaking. Should I follow my old image for washi ??

I thought a lot.
