Yukyu-shi (Snow Bleached Paper) is made by utilizing the cold and snowy climate of Gokayama-city, which is in north-east Japan facing the Sea of Japan.
Locally grown Kozo is harvested, steamed to remove the bark, then thrown on the snow to bleach. This paper is made entirely by hand without any use of machines or chemicals.
