Wood shavings (kyougi) are sliced sheets of silky smooth wood (0.15-mm to 0.25 mm thin).

They have been used by butchers and food dealers as food packaging from ancient times in Japan. They are made by the work of highly skilled craftsmen who have mastered & continue this tradition which dates back to the Edo period.

Each note pad is custom crafted by hand, resulting in unique production outcome for each pad. Today we consider it to be one of the greatest novelties in its genre.

Please enjoy the individuality of this product. (Coming soon in small and larger sizes)

Over 40% of Japan's woodlands are now cultivated, requiring regular thinning to maintain their ecological health. As Japan's timber industry declines, these products put harvested wood to good use, bringing needed revenue for sustainable forestry management, while helping to preserve a disappearing traditional craft.

(Since kyougi is not the usual kind of paper, you can use each slice for many purposes; drawing, writing, decorating, serving food, serving Matcha powder, sending as a luxury gift, and many more purposes...]
