Kataoshi embossing with a pattern of small flowers was used for this catalog based on the theme of Nice, France.
Kataoshi is an old embossing technique in which a pattern is stamped into the entire sheet of paper
by passing it through metal rolls that have a pattern cut into them.Traditional patterns, such as ripples
and textured patterns, have been used in wrapping paper and paper for packaging applications since olden times.

These coasters were made for an exhibition that had family crests as its theme.
Debossing with SOFLIGHT paper, which has a fluffy texture, enabled the formation of soft,
refined shapes reminiscent of traditional Japanese wagashi and rakugan sweets.
