Shori Maki-e paper knife

Reprinting the shape of a paper knife

The paper knife (called Shito), which has been attached to the inkstone box since ancient times for separating the scrolls after writing on them, has been reprinted in the modern age.

Elegant carp

The legend has it that a carp climbs up a waterfall and becomes a dragon, which is considered an auspicious pattern.
It also has the auspicious meaning of "carving out" a way forward with a paper knife.
The scales of the carp are drawn in detail, and the waves are blurred from gold to silver for expressiveness.

Comes in a special wooden box

The paper knife will be delivered in a wooden box with a special velvet cushion.
