⚫︎ 桐生和紙・Kiryu Washi
桐生川上流の梅田地区で生産される、黄色味を帯びた丈夫な和紙は「桐生紙」と呼ばれ、大正末年頃までは大福帳、通い帳、障子紙などに使用され、多量に生産されていました。桐生和紙の製法へのこだわりや独特の透け感とパリッとした質感・風合いに高評価を得て，書や絵画などの創作物の材料として選ばれています。
The sturdy yellow washi paper produced in the Umeda area of the upper reaches of the Kiryu River is called "Kiryu paper" and was used for daifuku books, school books, shoji paper, etc., and was produced in large quantities until around the end of the Taisho era. Kiryu washi has been highly evaluated for its commitment to the production method and its unique sheer feeling, crisp texture, and has been chosen as a material for creative works such as calligraphy and paintings.
