  Définition

  Specially thin and strong papers made in Japan from long fibres, such as mitsumata and paper mulberry and used for copying books.

  Note :

  Japanese papers are hand made, the fibres pulped by hand and the sheets made on moulds of bamboo or hair. The length of the fibre gives a paper of exceptional wearing qualities, the fibres pulling apart and not tearing.
