The Paper Museum, established in 1950 and rebranded in 1965, celebrates Japan's rich paper-making heritage, which began over 1,400 years ago with techniques brought from ancient China. This culturally significant institution is located in Oji, the birthplace of Western-style paper manufacturing in Japan. The museum showcases an extensive collection of traditional washi (Japanese paper) and Europe's modern paper production methods, reflecting the evolution of the industry.

Visitors can explore permanent and special exhibitions covering the history, culture, and artistic possibilities of paper. The museum also engages the community through educational programs, guided tours, and various events, including workshops where guests can experience the traditional craft of paper-making themselves.

As a pioneer in sustainable paper practices, the Paper Museum also emphasizes the importance of addressing environmental challenges within the paper industry. Open to the public from 10 AM to 5 PM, the museum provides a welcoming space for all to discover the enduring significance of paper in Japanese culture and the ongoing journey towards sustainability.
