What is Mino Washi? Mino Washi is a strong and durable pure white Japanese paper originating in Gifu Prefecture. Designated as a traditional craft by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 1985, it was registered as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2014. Its history dates back to the Nara period. At that time, paper was handmade and was an expensive and valuable resource.
