JAPANESE PAPER.
There Is Danger of Its Losing It's Dis
tinctiye Quality


From the Popular Science Monthly
The peculiar qualities of Japanese paper,
most of them excellent ones, and the great
variety of uses to which it is applied, are
known everywhere. 1t is wood or bark
paper, and derives its properties from the
substances Of which it IL made and the
method Of its manufacture. Several plants
are cultivated for the manufacture, which,
in the absence of English names, must be
called by their Japanese or scientific ones
Of which the principal are 'tmitsumata"
(Edgeworthia papyrifera), the 5000" Bros
sonia papyrifera) and the ''gampiju' wick
stroannia canecensis). Bamboo bark also
furnishes good paper. but is not much
used. The mitsumata Families into three
branches, and is cultivated in plantations,
being propagated from seeds and by cut
tings II Is fit for use in the second wear
II the soif IS good. Its cultivation and ex-
portation have reached an enormous i'm
portance, largely because the Imperial
printing office uses it for bank notes and
official documents. The sozo is prop
agated by seeds. and somewhat resembles
the mulberry. The gampiju Is a small
shrub, which is cut in its third year. To
make paper. the bark is STEPPED tn kettle
with buckwheat ashes to extract the resin
bottomed frame with silk or hempen
threads is plunged within, very much as in
western paper-making. This, letting out
the water. holds the pulp. which, feltins,
is to form the future sheet of paper. This
is pressed. to squeeze all the water out, and
is left TO dry. The uses made Of paper in
Japan are innumerable, particularly in old
Japan. which treasures up ITS past. The
papers. though all made in a similar way
are called by different names, according to
the uses to which they are applied and
their origin. Window lights are made of
paper. and partitions between rooms, when
1t Is stretched on frames, which work as
sliding doors. The celebrated lanterns
called gifu are made of it at TOXIC and
Osaka Under the name of shibuganni it is
applied TO the covering Of umbrellas which
are sold In China and Corea. As zeGogawa-
sni bank notes are printed on it, Oiled II
Is kappa. tmpermeable and suitable FOR COW
ering packages and for making waterproof
garments. Handkerchiefs are made from
ii, cords by twisting. For light. solid ar
ticles 1t is mixed and compressed very nnch
as our papier-mache Covered with thtctr
paste and pounded. it forms tapestries In
itations OF Cordova leather are made Of n
by spreading 1t and pressing 1t with hard
brushes upon boards in which suitable de-
signs have been cut. 1t is then coyernd
with oil and varnish. Japan produced near
ly 100000 worth of paper in 1892 Unfor-
tunately, European methods of manufac-
ture have been introduced. and there ia
danger of the paper losing its distinctive
qualities.
