Fine snow and polka dots

~ Morisa Collection Consideration No. 9 ~

Often used as a lining paper: "Sasameyuki"
We will also take a look at polka dots, which are similar to the sasaki snowflakes!

<About Makioka Sisters>
When I looked it up, the only thing that came up was "fine snow, sparsely falling snow." This is a literal representation of "fine snow" made of washi paper.
Although Sasameyuki is a winter material, it is often used as a lining or covering for jelly.
How about using cover paper or underlay paper to create a cool feeling during the hot summer?

Compared to polka dots (see image above), it gives the impression of a crisp, cool ice.


<About polka dots>
Polka dot patterns are often seen in fashion and other things
Polka dots have the same meaning, but because they are made of falling water, the circles are not aligned, but random, as if water has been scattered. Polka dots are also often used for jelly linings, wrapping paper, and candy wrapping paper, and when combined with rolled sweets, they give a soft impression.

<About color>
The Sasameyuki series has 4 standard colors and 1 discontinued color, while the Polka Dot series has 9 standard colors. *Please note that discontinued colors will be sold out when stock runs out.

Both patterns come in cool, pale colors, perfect for summer!

Finally, we'd like to introduce some of the polka dot and snowflake pattern products available at Morisa!

Small roll/White Rakusui Washi (Sasameyuki) ... Small rolls that can be cut to your desired size for wrapping are very popular! This is the only long (standard) product. ・Small cut for sweets/Sasameyuki ... Already cut into 12cm, 15cm, and 18cm sizes available! It is cut from a bundle of 50 flat sheets of paper, so you can purchase it at a low price. ・Waseal Polka Dot Rakusui ... A slightly different polka dot pattern from the one introduced above. It is "washi paper to stick on glass", so the back is like a sticker!
It also has UV protection, making it a highly recommended item!

If you're interested, head over to LadyRisa Tosa Washi now!


We look forward to your gift wrapping ideas.
If you have any ideas on how you used it or would like other people to know about it, please send us an email.

Next time we will look at the checkered pattern, which was also chosen as the emblem for the Tokyo Olympics.
I would like to introduce you to Ichimatsu Rakusui, a paper made with Rakusui paper. (This time for sure!)
