Since its founding in 1806 in Edo’s Nihonbashi district, Haibara has remained a premier destination for fine washi paper. This book tells the 200-year story of a shop that flourished during the nineteenth century and successfully navigated Japan’s modernization by evolving its designs to suit every generation.

Through vibrant illustrations, the narrative highlights the shop's collaboration with legendary artists such as Takehisa Yumeji, Shibata Zeshin, Kawase Hasui, and Kawanabe Kyosai. It is a tribute to a legacy that continues to bring artistry and grace to everyday stationery and paper goods.
