Hiroshima Carp Streamers

Product description

Traditional hand-painted carp streamers: carrying over 400 years of history to the present

Long ago, Japanese washi papermaking flourished along the Ozegawa River that flows along the border of Hiroshima Prefecture and Yamaguchi Prefecture, and our Hiroshima carp streamers carry on the tradition of hand-painted streamers made with washi paper. Each one of our streamers is made completely  by hand using washi paper made by Hiroshima's only washi maker, Otake Tesuki Washi no Sato. The warmth of washi paper, combined with the charming painting of Japanese folktale hero Kintaro and bright and lively colors put our hand-painted streamers in a league of their own as one of the last remaining handmade streamers in all of Japan. Enjoy all of the culture and artistry that goes into each of our streamers.
