Japanese paper

High-quality washi for your interior design project

There are countless varieties of Japanese paper (washi) for every conceivable use in all areas of life. We focus on washi for decoration, sun protection, and interior design. We import all of our papers ourselves from Japan, most of them directly from the manufacturers.

Interior—Japanese Paper for Shoji and Fusuma

Shoji paper—translucent Japanese paper used to cover frames—and fusuma paper—textured, colored, and patterned washi for sliding doors and as wallpaper—are the traditional Japanese interior papers. We import all shoji and fusuma papers ourselves from Japan, mostly directly from the manufacturers.

Modern Japanese Papers in Interior Design and Decor

MADOCA, the most tear-resistant Japanese paper for shoji screens, curtains, and lampshades, is available exclusively at Takumi. MADOCA is produced in Japan exclusively on our behalf and, of course, imported directly by us. We also import shoji paper, Minowashi, and ITO shoji paper—which features a mesh texture—directly.
