Traditional Industry
Kyoori Fusuma Paper
Kizugawa City used to have a thriving textile and fusuma paper industry.
It grew along with the high economic growth period and became a major industry.
Although demand for fusuma paper has declined with changes in housing styles, Kizugawa City still manufactures nearly 90% of all woven fusuma paper in Japan.
Kyoori fusuma paper is a traditional Japanese industry that we can be proud of in the world.
What is “Kyoori Fusuma Paper”?
Textiles produced in Kyoto and surrounding areas.
Interior decoration materials used for sliding doors, walls, ceilings, shoji screens, folding screens, etc.
Started with cotton and linen fabrics developed in the Kizugawa City basin in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture.
The production of sliding door grounds began in the late Meiji Era and developed along with the high growth period of the Showa Era.
We have learned from our predecessors who had responded to the changes of the times and new needs, then built up their skills. We are committed to preserving the tradition.
The characteristics of Kyoori fusuma paper are:
They are woven using natural materials and have a natural texture and warmth, moisture control, light shading, and heat retention functions.
They are also durable and have a beautiful design.
Outline of the Association
About Yamashiro Textile Association
During the high-growth period of the Showa era (1926-1989), we developed our business thanks to strong housing construction demand and the economic boom of the bubble-economy era, including the manufacture of woven fusuma paper and the use of fusuma ground as wallpaper to meet the lifestyle shift from Japanese-style to Western-style rooms.
In recent years, however, manufacturing and sales volumes have declined along with the decreasing number of new housing starts. This trend is expected to continue because the population declines, and the number of Japanese-style rooms decreases due to remodeling and reconstruction.
Toward the future, this association was established among textile-related companies in Kizugawa City to promote a project to communicate the potential of woven fusuma paper to the rest of the country and to the world.
We will carry out activities to promote and sell the products domestically and internationally, while stepping up quality assurance and other businesses.
