The Beauty of Japan: Crystal Washi, born from a collaboration between master washi artisans, who inherit traditional Japanese techniques, and masters of crystal craftsmanship, is a unique and sacred cloud-cutting work meticulously crafted using a special technique unique to handmade washi paper: incorporating crystal into the paper.
✅[Features] Handmade washi paper features beautiful, natural fibers floating on the surface, creating a dignified, high-quality Japanese paper. Crystal, known as a stone of purification, is a sacred, purifying gemstone used in prayer beads and many Shinto and Buddhist altar items.
✅[Origin of the Cloud] It is customary to affix the character "cloud" (kumo) to the ceiling or above a household altar or Buddhist altar. Unlike the one-story buildings of the past, modern living environments often see second- or third-floor dwellings in detached homes, and apartment complexes and other housing complexes often have residents living above. Placing clouds above the gods would be considered disrespectful, so the clouds are placed above the gods. The implication is that above the gods there are only clouds, and only heaven.
