Seen in the above photos are one of HAIBARA's most popular items, Accordion Writing Pad & Envelope Letter Set (JABARA BINSEN), and it just won the GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2012. In this beautiful packaging included are an accordion style writing pad that is perforated at each fold so that you can torn wherever you like depending on the length of your writing, and also 10 matching Japanese style envelopes. Both the writing pad and envelopes are made to be used vertically in the traditional style, however you can still use them side ways for western writing.

Here are some more items from HAIBARA that are now available online from UGUiSU.

These beautiful washi items are designed by Yumeji Takehisa, who is a very famous Japanese poet and painter from the early-20th century. Yumeji was one of the most important designers who worked closely with HAIBARA and produced numbers of excellent designs for their washi product lines. Those thin writing pads are called "ippitsu-sen" which is directly translated to "one line notes" and they are for short messages to include in something you send to someone. Needles to say, very good quality washi paper is used both for the writing notes and the deckle edged handmade washi post cards.

Below are lovely items crafted with HAIBARA's original reproduction chiyogami design papers.
