Misu Tsumami has its roots in traditional Japanese culture, specifically in the Edo period (1603-1867). During this time, paper was a highly valued commodity, and artisans developed techniques to create beautiful and intricate designs using this versatile material. Misu Tsumami was originally used to create decorative objects, such as paper flowers, leaves, and other ornaments.
