Description
| The luncheon mat made of traditional handmade Japanese paper, which has been handed down for 800 years in Higashiyama-cho, Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture, is a washable, water-repellent original product created in collaboration with Higashiyama Washi and designshop. Other types are available on a separate sales page. This A3 size luncheon mat (placemat) is made of Higashiyama Washi, which has been handed down in Higashiyama-cho, Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture for 800 years. The origin of Higashiyama Washi is generally believed to be that the paper was made in the late Heian period (794-1185) by a fallen member of the Fujiwara clan of Hiraizumi, Oshu, who was defeated by the Kamakura clan in the late Heian period (794-1185). Kozo-shi is paper made from the bark fibers of the kozo tree, and because it was very strong, it was used as paper for important official documents, scriptures, books, and other documents that needed to be preserved for a long time. It is a simple yet strong washi with the natural color of kozo. A version dyed with persimmon tannin is also available. Matsuo Basho's travelogue "Oku no Hosomichi" (The Narrow Road to the Deep North) was written on what is now called Higashiyama washi in four pieces. The natural water-repellent finish of the natural material does not spoil the texture of the Higashiyama Washi, and even though it is paper, it repels water, so it can be used as a luncheon mat (placemat/placemat) with no worries. It is an excellent product that becomes more water-repellent as time goes by. It can also be washed by hand if it gets dirty. The shoji screens at the Japan Folk Crafts Museum in Komaba, Tokyo, have also been reupholstered with Higashiyama Washi. *Tozan Washi The origin of Higashiyama Washi is generally believed to be that the paper was made by the fallen soldiers of the Fujiwara clan in Hiraizumi, Oshu, who were defeated by the Kamakura clan at the end of the Heian period (794-1185). The origin of the name "Higashiyama" can be traced back to a view looking east from Mount Tabashine near Chuson-ji Temple in Hiraizumi, which established the golden age of Tohoku culture. At the foot of Mt. Toinayama, there is a village called Kamiagari, which is thought to be the birthplace of Higashiyama washi because of the name of the place, which literally means the birthplace of paper. In 1654, two paper makers were recorded as making washi, and later, with the encouragement of the Date Clan, washi production flourished, and by 1715, there were 163 paper makers in the area. From the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period (1868-1912), when the industry was at its peak, it is said that almost every household in the Nagasaka and Tagawazu villages in the town was involved in paper making. In recent years, as of 1942, there were 285 paper makers in the town, mainly making paper as a side job during the winter months, and they had extensive sales channels within the prefecture and throughout the Tohoku region. Today, there are only four people, mainly in the Yamaya tribe, who continue to make simple yet strong washi, mainly kozo paper, by faithfully carrying on the more than 800 years of Higashiyama washi tradition and its unique techniques. ___________________________________________ [ Japanese paper washi washi japan made water repellent Scandinavian stylish lunch mat lunch mat japanese paper washi japan made lunch mat lunch mat lunch mat lunch mats lunch mats placemat placemats place mat place mats ] |

岩手県一関市東山町で800年受け継がれる、東山和紙（とうざんわし）のA3サイズのランチョンマット（プレイスマット/プレースマット）です。
東山和紙（とうざんわし）の起源については、一般的な定説として平安時代末期に鎌倉勢に滅ぼされ奥州平泉の藤原勢の落人が、当地東山町一帯に土着し、農耕の傍ら生活用品として作り始められたといわれ、約八百年余りの伝統が今も受け継がれています。
また楮紙とは、楮の樹皮繊維を原料として漉いた紙のことで、大変丈夫であったために重要な公文書や経典・書籍など長期間の保存を要する文書の用紙として用いられて、長く和紙の代表的な存在とされてきました。コウゾの自然な色をした、素朴で強靭な和紙です。
柿渋により染めたものもご用意しました。
松尾芭蕉の「奥の細道」という紀行は、現在でいう東山和紙を四つ切にして書かれたものだそうです。
自然素材による撥水加工で東山和紙の風合いを損なわずに、紙なのに水を弾く仕上げとなっておりますので、安心してランチョンマット（プレイスマット/プレースマット）として使用できます。
時間が立つと、撥水力がより強くなる、優れものです。汚れた場合は手洗いもできます。
東京駒場にある、日本民藝館の障子も東山和紙で張り変えたそうです。
■東山和紙（とうざんわし）
東山和紙（とうざんわし）の起源については、一般的な定説として平安時代末期に鎌倉勢に滅ぼされ奥州平泉の藤原勢の落人が、当地東山町一帯に土着し、農耕の傍ら生活用品として作り始められたといわれ、約八百年余りの伝統が今も受け継がれています。
東山の名の由末については、東北文化の黄金時代を築いた平泉中尊寺の近くの束稲山（たばしねやま）より東方を眺めた風景が、京都の東山に似ていることから古来よりこの地方は、「東山」と称され、これがそのまま紙名になったといわれています。東稲山の麓には、紙生里（かみあがり）という部落もあり、文字通り紙の生まれた里にふさわしい地名から、東山和紙発祥の地と考えられています。文献によって知ることができるのは江戸時代からで、天保二年（1654年）には二名の漉く人が記録され、その後伊達藩の奨励により盛んになり、正徳五年（1715年）には、百六十三人の漉き人があったとされています。最も盛んな時期であった幕末から明治時代にかけては町内の長坂、田河津の各部落はほとんど軒並みといってもよいほど紙を漉いていたといわれています。最近では、昭和十七年において二百八十五人を数え、主に冬期間の副業として漉かれ、県内を始め東北各地に広範な販路を持っていました。現在は、山谷部落を中心にわずか四名であるが、東山和紙の八百年余の伝統を守り、独特な技法を忠実に受け継ぎ、楮紙を中心とした素朴で強靭な和紙を漉き続けています。
