Based in Kochi prefecture, Hironao and Osamu Hamada are the heirs of a 150-year old tradition of Japanese paper making, after years spent in training with their grandfather Sajio Hamada. After they started their practice, each brother developed their own style, one following the craftsman route, while the other went onto a more artistic path.

Their Tengujo Japanese paper is fully hand-made and one of the thinnest papers in the world; besides its uses in calligraphy or art, Tengujo paper was also used in order to restore precious works of art, including the Vatican's Sistine Chapel.

Shot in August 2017 as part of the New Territories project.
