Ogawa Town and Higashi-chichibu Village are located at the heart of Saitama Prefecture, in the north-west of Tokyo, in a basin commanding a view of the outer Chichibu Mountains. The abundance of water from the Tsuki River that flows across the region has nurtured the paper-making industry in the area. With its paper-making history dating back to the 8th century, Ogawa area is one of the largest paper-producing regions in Japan. Milled washi or Digital Washi is deck of plain, semi-transparent and textured Washi developed by OFFICE HARVEST. Using ecologically responsible and sustainable processes similar to handmade washi-making methods, the traditional washi is now scalable in large format and printable on modern digital printers.
