Handcrafted in Yatsuo, Toyama, Keijusha's treasure boxes are handmade from locally produced washi. The paper is first wrinkle-processed for strength and texture, then decorated using katazome, a traditional stencil-resist technique. Artisans place hand-cut stencils onto the washi and apply rice-starch paste before brushing layers of vivid pigment. After washing and drying, the patterned sheets are carefully formed into the functional, eye-catching piece you see here.
At Keijusha, two Japanese traditions meet:Yatsuowashi and katazome stencil dyeing.Yatsuowashi, developed in Toyama during the Muromachi period (1336–1573), was once used to wrap the region’s medicines, and when industrial production began to eclipse the local paper trade,Yatsuonative Keisuke Yoshida set out to preserve it. While recovering from illness in his hometown, Yoshidaen countered the writings of Mingei founder Soetsu Yanagi and soon after met the celebrated stencil artist Keisuke Serizawa. Their collaboration united Yoshida’s expertise in papermaking with Serizawa’s bold designs, laying the foundations forKeijusha,establishedin 1960. Today the workshop produces washi paper boxes using katazome, where rice paste is applied through hand-cut stencils before layers of vivid color are brushed on, then washed and dried by hand.
