“Jyadoushi” Paper bag
| Paper Bag made from Sekisyu washi “Jadoushi“ “Jyadoushi” Paper One type of Sekisyu washi, “Jyadoushi,” is a paper used for the giant serpent in the “Iwami Kagura” tradition passed down in the Iwami region of Shimane Prefecture. “Jyadoushi” is a strong, resilient washi designed to support the giant serpent. Sekishū washi is made from high-quality “kozo” (paper mulberry) cultivated in the Iwami region of Shimane Prefecture, resulting in a strong, lustrous paper. Records indicate the Sekishū region (Iwami Province) was already a paper-producing area around 927 AD (En'yō 5). By 1665 (Kanbun 5), it was known and distributed in Osaka, the primary paper market, under the name “Sekishū Hanshi.” In recent years, it has been designated a National Important Intangible Cultural Property and inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
