Gekkoso Washi Letter Set

Description:

These Gekkoso letter sets are made of Mino washi paper, with a beautiful delicate texture and a slightly translucent quality. Each pack comes with 10 sheets of letter writing paper and 3 envelopes. On the envelope, the seemingly random assortment of characters is actually a tanka poem by Akiko Yosano about the moon. The characters have been arranged into a circular shape to resemble the moon, and this poem is actually the origin behind the name Gekkoso.
