Walon waterproof sheet | A Japanese-style interior material with excellent water resistance and durability.

As new patterns for the reinforced washi "Walon Sheet" and the washi-infused resin board "Walon Plate," we will release three traditional patterns (checkered water drop, shippō, and small hemp leaf) and two craft washi patterns (sea of clouds and large water drop) starting March 2, 2026 (Monday). We propose these as spatial design materials that balance aesthetic appeal, showcasing the beautiful texture of washi in a well-lit environment, with functionality such as durability and flame resistance. 【Features of the New Products】 - Interior materials that are durable and resistant to damage, allowing for long-term use - Maintains the beauty and texture of washi while being easy to care for with a water-wipeable surface - Certified flame-retardant products by the Japan Flame Retardant Association - Applications: building materials, shoji screens, partitions, lighting fixture covers, signage and display materials, etc. <Basic Series "Checkered Water Drop, Shippō, Small Hemp Leaf"> - Provides an orderly rhythm and visual accent to the space with repeating patterns - Distant view: "rich texture that blends into the space," close view: "intricacy" that changes expression with distance - Beautiful traditional patterns cast shadows through transmitted light <Craft Washi Series "Sea of Clouds, Large Water Drop"> - Depth expressed through the wavering of washi fibers and the blurring of patterns - Rich material feel represented by the surface's unevenness - Diffusion that transforms dazzling light into soft transmitted light

Under the theme of "Washi × Technology – Creating a Quality Space," we will showcase three traditional patterns (Basic Series) that bring rhythm and order to the space, and two patterns (Craft Washi Series) that provide a sense of depth through variations in design and texture, as new products of Waron Sheet and Waron Plate. We propose interior materials that enhance the quality of experience by refining the tone of the space, including light, spatial quality, and atmosphere.
