Echizen Washi Village Uritate Craft Museum
A mid-Edo period paper-making house relocated and renovated. Visitors can observe and experience the entire process of making Echizen washi paper.
This craft museum, with its rare udatsu-style gabled roof that creates an atmosphere befitting the village of washi paper, allows visitors to observe traditional craftsmen using old-fashioned tools to make washi paper. To create high-quality washi, artisans make paper in bone-chilling cold water. It's a famous spot in Imadate, the Echizen Washi Village, where you can feel the warmth amidst the tension of the hand-made paper artisans.
