Collection: SUMINAGASHI SPRINGS

Suminagashi Springs by CEDAR Y SAND is our signature collection, rooted in the ancient Japanese marbling art of Suminagashi — “floating ink.” Traditionally, this meditative process is created by lightly dipping the tip of an inked brush onto the surface of water, where the ink spreads in concentric ripples. Each mark drifts and expands, then is lifted onto paper, preserving the movement of water in flowing, organic patterns.

At CEDAR Y SAND, we’ve found new ways to enrich this timeless process, carrying it into forms both artistic and functional. Beyond stationery, marbled paper becomes the stage for layered creativity: pressed seaweed gathered from Long Island's coastal shores, watercolor marine fauna and dolphins swimming across marbled mats, and bold lighthouse silhouettes set against fluid skies. Even daily essentials — notecards, bookmarks, wrapped pencils, and notepads — become miniature works of art. Our lavender sachet envelopes combine the calming scent of North Fork blooms with the elegance of marbled Hosho paper, uniting fragrance and design.

Every piece in Suminagashi Springs is handmade, one-of-a-kind, and either crafted for everyday rituals or matted for ready display. From frameable notecards to original artworks, the collection honors both tradition and innovation, carrying forward the rhythm of water, the spirit of the coast, and the artisanship at the heart of CEDAR Y SAND.
