Iiyama's 'washi' tradition called "Uchiyama" is renowned for the strength of the paper. Due to its strength it is commonly used as the paper in shoji screen room dividers. For over three and a half centuries, craftsmen have been taking advantage of Iiyama’s cold winters, heavy snow fall, and clear running water to make Uchiyama-style ‘washi’. You, too, can try your hand at making ‘washi’ and create a postcard, colored paper, bookmark or haiku paper.
