Mino Japanese paper and tile earrings marble

These simple and adorable earrings are made with Mino washi paper pasted onto small tiles from Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture. ``marble'' was born with a focus on ``manufacturing using local materials.'' ✲✲ “Scissors” from Seki City x “Washi” from Mino City x “Tiles” from Tajimi City ✲✲ It is characterized by its round shape with soft curves and irregular Japanese paper patterns. We named it ``marble'' because the pattern created when we pasted the washi paper looked like marble chocolate. The size is about 1cm in diameter, making it easy to use on a daily basis. It can be used not only for private use, but also for casual work wear. The Mino washi paper used is machine-made falling water paper. By applying a shower to the washi paper before it is made, the water pressure creates tiny holes, creating a pattern. This is one of the most popular Japanese paper designs. Each piece of Japanese paper is cut into a circle with scissors to match the tile, and after being firmly attached to the Tajimi tile, it is coated with resin (UV resin) 3 to 5 times. The surface is then polished to make it even softer to the touch, and a final coat is applied. Enjoy the difference between the two materials: the smooth texture of the tile peeking through the gaps in the pattern, and the folding of the mulberry fibers* In addition, because the color is uneven, there are some dark and light shades. Dark shades have good color development, so they have a strong presence even from a distance. On the other hand, if you look closely at the lighter colored ones, you will see that the transparent washi paper shines with a subtle sparkle. It has a slightly adult atmosphere, so it's recommended for those who want to enjoy it in secret. [Please select the shade of color from the options. ] 《About materials》 The tiles are pasted with Mino washi (machine washi) produced in Gifu Prefecture. Mino washi is made by bleaching the paper mulberry tree, which is the raw material for washi, using plenty of water from the Nagara River, a clear stream in Gifu Prefecture, over time. Mino Washi is made with the blessings of Gifu.
