Washi Accents

If you’re looking for Japanese rice paper, washi paper, rubber stamps, brushes, stencils or other traditional Japanese art forms, contact Washi Accents. Both Elaine & her husband Hiroshi will be more than happy to help you find what you’re needing.
Having both lived in Japan for many years, they are very particular in what they sell. Both of them select each style of Japanese washi paper for its individual characteristics — beauty, variety and versatility. Most of their stock comes from Japan, where ancient traditions still reign.
Their stamp images focus primarily on Japanese culture, both classical and contemporary. They import special stencils from Japan which use persimmon juice died Kaki Shibu paper. They also offer many kinds of rice paper and brushes, most of which have been developed primarily for various styles of brush calligraphy and for Sumi-​e, an ancient style of Oriental painting renowned for its simplicity, grace and beauty.
If you’re into Ikebana (the art of Japanese flower arranging), make sure to inquire about the Ichiyo School of Ikebana, taught by Executive Master, Elaine Jo. I’ve been taking lessons from Elaine for almost two years now, and I’ve learned so much from her teachings. You couldn’t have a better instructor to learn this sculptural artform. Her talent constantly inspires me each week I learn something new.
