“Washi,” or traditional Japanese paper, is made from the natural fibers of plants such as paper mulberry (“kozo”), oriental paper bush (“mitsumata”), and a Japanese shrub known as “gampi.”
Washi has a variety of properties. It can be used as wallpaper because of its hygroscopic nature, or made into Japanese sliding screens that absorb sound, lampshades and sliding doors that are permeable to light, calligraphy paper, and so on.
Washi can be twisted and intertwined with cotton or silk yarn to form a textile known as paper fabric. Traditional paper fabric has been made in Japan for more than 300 years, which is in turn used to make various products. By using carefully selected raw materials and the proper techniques to create this twisted yarn, paper fabric acquires a durability that cannot be found in a single piece of washi and becomes a fabric material that can be used for the production of apparel and ordinary textiles.
