Eco-Friendly Hemp Leaf Washi Paper Placemats - Natural & Biodegradable Table Mats for Dining, Parties & Home Decor (Set of 4)

Product Description

This place mat is made of Tosa Washi Paper and has a hemp leaf pattern. This is a traditional Japanese pattern called the "Asa-no-ha (hemp leaf)" pattern. The interweaving shapes of straight lines look like leaves and veins. It is a beautiful pattern that reminds us of organic plants in a regular and geometric manner. It also has a meaning of wishing for the healthy growth of children, in reference to the strength and rapid growth of hemp.

This washi paper has a double structure, and the washi paper with a white pattern on it is made by a technique called "Rakusui". Rakusui is a traditional technique to make a pattern on washi paper by dropping water. The technique of making a double-layered paper by applying another sheet of washi on the back of the Rakusui paper is called "Sukiawase".

This place mat is perfect for an individual serving. In addition to being used as a regular place mat, they are also great to place under items displayed on a shelf.
