Washi is a style of paper that was first made in Japan. Washi is commonly made using fibers
from the bark of the gampi tree, the mitsumata shrub (Edgeworthia chrysantha), or the paper
mulberry, but also can be made using bamboo, hemp, rice, and wheat. The word "washi" comes
from wa 'Japanese' and shi 'paper', and the term is used to describe paper made by hand in
the traditional manner.
Although paper was originally made in China in the first century, the art was brought to Japan
in 610 AD by Buddhist monks who produced it for writing sutras. Since its introduction to Japan,
papermaking has been at the center of Japanese life, both the religious and the secular. Paper
plays an important role in many rituals, ceremonies and festivals during special occasions, as
well as, in countless ordinary everyday activities.
Sekishu Washi (handmade Japanese paper) was invented in 105 AD by a Chinese official
named Cai Lun, and introduced to Japan in 610 AD by Doncho, a Buddhist monk from Korea.
The name Sekishu comes from the Sekishu region (present-day Iwami), where the paper was first
produced. The paper is also known as Sekishu-banshi (half sheets of Sekishu) because of the cut
of the paper.
WASHI PAPER MAKING IN JAPAN
As with all
papermaking,
some basic
ingredients are
needed are fiber, water
chemicals, vats,
beaters .
Basic Washi Method: 1.Steaming
2. Stripping
3.Boiling in Alkali
4.Bleaching
5.Neri (vegetable
mucilage) on

materials for
Sekishu washi
are kozo,
mitsumata,
and gampi
shrubs.

9.Scooping pulp (Kazushi)
10.Spread pulp (Choshi)
11.Draining off water. (Sutemizu)
12.Moving sheets to paper beds
(shito utsushi)
1.5 APPLICATIONS Until the early 20th
century, the Japanese
used washi in
applications where
wood pulp paper or
other materials are
currently used. This is
partly because washi
was cheaper, but also
because the unique
characteristics of washi
made it a better
material. The different
uses of washi are too
numerous to mention,
but include the
following:
Clothes: Kimino
Furniture: Lantern
Craft: Handfan
Art: Origami

Gami A cherry blossom is the
flower of any of several
trees of genus Prunus,
particularly the Japanese
Cherry, Prunus serrulata,
which is called Sakura
after the Japanese. Cherry
blossom is speculated to be
native to the Himalayas.

Origami (from ori meaning
"folding", and kami meaning
"paper" (kami changes to gami due
to rendaku)) is the art of paper
folding, which is often associated
with Japanese culture. In modern
usage, the word "origami" is used
as an inclusive term for all folding
practices, regardless of their culture
of origin

A wagasa or karakasa is a
traditional Japanese umbrella made
from paper and bamboo. Wagasa
are distinguished from western
umbrellas by their large number of
ribs and their straight rather than
rounded shape, resembling cocktail
umbrellas. Unlike a standard
umbrella, a wagasa is placed with
the top of the umbrella facing
upwards when not in use.

B. MAKING SOLUTION
A. GLUE SOLUTION Over two thousand years ago, man discovered that paper could be hardened and
used to make such items as helmets, furniture and even coffins. Today the process,
known as papier-mâché. Papier-mâché, which means "chewed paper", involves
wetting paper in a glue solution and then allowing it to dry. Once dried, the
paper hardens.
