For over half a century, since its launch in 1956, MERMAID has been a popular fine paper.
This line of fine paper characterized by a rippling texture has now been augmented with rich,
modern-day colors and new thicknesses that can be used for folding cartons and similar applications.
The Mermaid Wave exhibition, directed by Akiko Sekimoto, presents the newly expanded appeal
and attraction of MERMAID. Come and feel for yourself the new ripples that MERMAID is making.
