"Washi Spirit""

Man is the river; Man is the rain. Man is the wave.
Water is the medium.
And Washi is the waters spirit.

It's first secret is awakening.
All life comes from water. So the Washi does.

It's second secret is relieving.
Born floating in the water, Washi transmits weightlessness.

It's third secret is soothing.
Moving with the waters flow, the fibers gather naturally in the most harmonic way.

It's forth secret is reminding.
Slowly build up by the movement, it's structure is the memory of the time passed for it's making.

It's fifth secret is enlightening.
Light moves through the fibers until it is released according to the Washi's structure in never ending ways."

I want to share these secrets and provide people the awakening, relieving, soothing, reminding and enlightening presence of Washi in their Homes and Lives.
