生活 Seikatsu せいかつ
懷紙(かいし,kaishi), in a general sense, Kaishi can be said to be a type of "Washi" category, but in terms of use, it has a clearer way of use than the general word Washi. If you have ever walked into a high-end Japanese restaurant or a traditional tea ceremony shop, you must have seen the food (such as tempura, etc.) or wagashi that comes with tea placed on a beautiful paper. That piece of paper is the so-called Kaishi.
Kaishi means "paper that is easy to carry in your arms". In the era when people generally wore kimonos, they often carried it in their arms, similar to modern paper towels, handkerchiefs, notes, etc., with many uses. It has the function of multi-purpose paper and is elegant at the same time. Therefore, in ancient times, Kaishi was not only used as tea ceremony utensils, but was often used as coasters, gift packaging bags, cleaning cloths, note paper, letter paper, etc. in daily life.
