Making washi.

The second part of our MWR tour was learning about the process of making washi, the traditional Japanese paper.  I missed half of what was said because I couldn’t hear the translator, but if you are interested, here is an article.  I can tell you that the paper is delicate and beautiful and the process of making it is an intricate one.  Not only did we have an opportunity to make our own washi, but we had a few minutes to walk around the washi house and soak in our surroundings.
