We are thrilled to welcome Mitani Plastering Studio, a distinguished center dedicated to the history and artistry of traditional Japanese plastering, to our website!
Mitani Plastering Studio specializes in Kyoto Nurikabeya techniques, focusing on creating natural, breathable spaces using earth-based materials. While the craft of plaster walls has seen a decline with the rise of modern wallpaper, Mitani preserves this vital tradition, showcasing its inherent health benefits and subtle, natural beauty.
Through artistic works, collaborations, and workshops, the studio passionately shares the charm and potential of earth-based materials, embodying the belief that “living with soil” enriches and enhances modern life.
