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Although paper was originally made in China in the first century, the art was brought to Japan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 .

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

2.0 CASE STUDY

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.
