Abstract
A comprehensive treatment of traditional papermaking in Japan includes instructions for making Japanese paper in the West (including a simplified version for the novice); directions for weaving the flexible mold surface (su), a fully documented technique; a detailed guide to cultivating paper mulberry (kozo) in the West; and an appendix by Winifred Lutz on locating, testing, and adapting North American fibers to the Japanese papermaking process. Part I re prints most of Nagashizuki: The Japanese Craft of Hand Papermaking (see AATA 19-250). Part II provides instructions for every stage of the craft. -- AATA
