We had the privilege of being invited to the Embassy of Japan in the Vatican and meeting Ambassador Chiba and his wife. It was an incredible opportunity to discuss the rich cultural heritage of washi paper and our recent activities.
For decades, we've been dedicated to exporting handcrafted washi to Europe, North America, and beyond. We remain dedicated to promoting traditional craftsmanship and supporting artisans who bring this heritage to life.
L'11 febbraio, l'Ambasciatore Chiba e la sua consorte hanno invitato i coniugi Moriki, rappresentanti di Moriki Paper, azienda specializzata nell'esportazione di carta washi, presso la Residenza.
La carta washi, che è anche un Patrimonio Culturale UNESCO, è una carta alcalina e resistente, ed è utilizzata per il restauro di beni culturali. I coniugi Moriki hanno recentemente visitato le principali biblioteche e musei del mondo, inclusa la Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana e i Musei Vaticani, per presentare la carta washi. Durante l'incontro, si è discusso riguardo alle recenti attività dei coniugi Moriki e l'ambiente internazionale che circonda la carta washi.
