Persimmon-Tannin Dyed Washi Buffet

This buffet features richly textured washi paper, dyed with persimmon tannin (kakishibu), used as a surface finish.

Applying kakishibu not only enhances the warmth and character of the washi but also improves its durability by adding antibacterial, waterproof, and preservative properties.

The washi is carefully applied by skilled artisans in Kyoto who specialize in traditional crafts such as hanging scrolls and folding screens, giving the furniture a refined and artisanal finish.
