Each piece is carefully handcrafted using Kochi hemp paper, giving it a firm texture and beautiful color. This blue Tokoro has a unique color born from the excellent compatibility of rock pigments and water-based paints, giving it a distinctive look. Rock pigments are made from powdered natural pigments found in rocks, and produce deep colors not found in other paints. On the other hand, water-based paints are dissolved in water, allowing for the expression of transparent colors. The calm, deep blue will resonate with your heart with its presence and energy.
