把紙張貼在窗玻璃上，陽光普照的早上裡，它身上就飄著雲朵。把它套在燈泡上，它就成為迎向太陽的翅膀。Tosawashi Products出品的土佐和紙原稿紙，早為它預設了多種用途，用來寫作、作信箋、寫便條，紀錄我們的靈光一閃。只是撫過那柔軟而單薄的紙張，便執意相信，除了書寫外，它定有更多的用途。
土佐和紙的產地在四國的高知縣，在一千多年前開始生產以作貢品，用來造漆器、工藝人偶，也曾經用來印鈔票。洋紙普及化後，和紙需求越來越少，除了用來寫經及書法以外，便甚少見到人們便用，長此下去，這門可貴的工藝或會消失，而Tosawashi Products便是在這背景下誕生的計劃。
由Takemura Design and Planning企畫的Tosawashi Products，將土佐和紙與活版印刷結合，除了這原稿紙外，也推出了收據本、信封、便條紙，以及年曆等。土佐和紙本來是一面粗糙一面光滑的，活版印刷又留下凹凸不平的痕跡，為紙張增添了更豐富的質感。
在原稿紙包裝的背面，寫著「不華麗且有點土氣之處，正是土佐和紙美好之處」，生活裡，實在無需太多華麗。
Pressing the paper against the window on a sunny day, it is so transparent that one can see clouds slowly moving on the paper. Fixing it around a light bulb, it looks like a pair of wings flying towards the sun. The Tosa Washi manuscript paper produced by Tosawashi Products is designed primarily for drafting, letter and memo writing; it is a type of paper dedicated to recording flashes of inspiration. However, when actually touching the soft and thin paper, one would be easily convinced that the paper also serves other purposes beyond writing.
Tosa Washi paper is originally produced in Kōchi Prefecture, Shikoku. When being first produced more than a thousand years ago, it was used as offerings for the production of lacquerware and Japanese traditional dolls; it was even used to print money. The demand for Washi (traditional Japanese paper) started to decline after the western method of paper production was made popular. Since then, its use has been rather limited to copying scripture and practicing calligraphy. Tosawashi Products is a project aimed at preserving this invaluable traditional craft.
Tosawashi Products is a project initiated by Takemura Design and Planning. It combines the technique of Tosa Washi making and letterpress printing to manufacture manuscript paper, receipt book, envelope, memo pad and calendar. The Tosa Washi paper has one rough side and one smooth side, it is then given an even richer texture by the printing press.
On the back of the manuscript package writes, “Glamorous and somewhat outmoded, this is exactly where the beauty of the Tosa Washi paper lies”. Indeed, daily life never requires too much glitter and glamour.
