The history of Wakasa Washi is ancient, with its manufacturing techniques said to have been introduced during the Enryaku era (782-806). It is believed that production flourished during the reign of Obama feudal lord Sakai Tadakatsu (1634-1656), who encouraged the cultivation of kozo and mitsumata (oriental paperbush), and it developed as a home-based handicraft.
Today, only a few households, primarily in Watada, continue to make paper.
The paper quality is pure, excellent, and strong. Wakasa Washi is reportedly used for the lanterns at the Kaminarimon Gate of Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa.
