Ozu Washi

There’s more than 400 years of history in this specialty shop for washi, a Japanese paper essential for calligraphy, and the building has an impressive facade that reflects its roots in the Edo era. Be sure to see the washi gallery, which has an impressive collection of paper for various calligraphy and art uses, as well as the themed exhibitions. You can make your own washi here, and I highly recommend it. The process will help you understand why it is superior to regular drawing paper when it comes to calligraphy.
