Until just after the end of the war, several houses in the Narushima area were producing washi paper, but with the spread of mass-produced Western paper, the demand for washi declined, and now it is only produced at the Washi Crafts Museum. Narushima washi paper is made by hand, one by one, using mulberry and mitsumata as raw materials, and is well known as Japan's northernmost washi paper.
