Maiko Yuzen Washi Message Card

Sale price$8.00 USD

Type:

Out of 40,000 possible designs, which kimono will be worn when it arrives at your doorstep is a delightful surprise to be discovered upon receipt.

This Maiko message card is very stylish, reminiscent of Kyoto's Maiko, with 200 types of kimonos and 200 types of obis randomly matched, making it rare to receive two cards of the exact same design. When you untie the obi and the kimono, it reveals a space on a white inner layer where you can write a message.

The card uses Kyoto Yuzen Washi, allowing you to convey messages with a beautiful Japanese aesthetic. It is especially recommended as a message card for gifts. Adding this message card to a gift wrapped in Furoshiki elevates the act of giving into something even more special. Since we wrap all orders in Furoshiki, if you're looking for a gift, just buy this card with some stuff, write your message, and you'll have a wonderful gift ready!

Tradition and Techniques of Shogado

Shogado Kyoto stationery | Komorebi Stationery

Since its establishment in Kyoto in 1964, Shogado has evolved from selling traditional Japanese bound books to creating stationery and miscellaneous goods crafted from washi paper. This transition reflects their expertise in utilizing authentic washi sourced from renowned production areas like Fukui Prefecture. Particularly noteworthy are the products hand-dyed by skilled artisans in Kyoto, known as Yuzen paper, distinguished by their superior texture and coloration, setting them apart from mass-produced goods.

Lovely message cards

"Our twin granddaughters are just returning from a trip to Japan and are having a birthday soon, so these are perfect for sending to them."

Jenny C. (5/5)

"I cannot say enough good things about this store and the husband and wife who run it. Where to begin? Maybe at the end: The items arrive wrapped in cloth in the tradition of Japanese gift giving - such a classic and respectful presentation. The mission of the store is to preserve traditional Japanese craftsmanship and the work of artisans, and it certainly shows in the lovely and unique things they sell. I am a repeat customer and I am so pleased with every treasure I’ve purchased - each one is something I want to show-off to my friends. Visit their online store to see many truly wonderful things."

Joy in a card

"These cards bring creativity, artistry, and joy to every card. They are a bit larger than I anticipated, which is good because it allows more room to write, and they have a solid impact—absolute joy."
