Living National Treasure - Echizen Washi : Ichibei Iwano IX

Ichibei Iwano IX is Living National Treasure in Japan. The Washi that he made can endure the overprint 300 times very strongly, and is used for woodblock prints etc. His father was a Living National Treasure, too, and Picasso used his father's washi regularly.

I also enjoyed clips recorded some festival. May you be so kinde to write some explanations on that event. It looks like that there was some strugle?

Thank you for the impression that seeing other festival movies(Japanese Only). I also think that I want to footnote the movies. But, there are academically many folkloristics parts where accurate expressions are necessary in the footnote. Therefore, I give up translating. Especially, it is the syncretization of Shinto with Buddhism. It is very difficult to explain this between Japanese.
