Yoshino Tissue: Kozo Paper So Thin Fifty Sheets Weigh 35 Grams (Nibu, after Rein 1889)
Yoshino-gami from Nibu in Yamato was the finest tissue of Japan: so thin that fifty sheets weigh 35 g, yet so strong that lacquer makers wrung thick lacquer through two or three layers and used them again. Light, tough tissue like this is what covers model wings.
Result: kozo tissue, sheets 48 x 25.5 cm, 50 sheets 35 g (about 5.7 g per square metre).

Lay the wet bast on a thick hardwood board and beat it with oak hammers of 1 to 2 lb, stirring and mixing in water often, until it is an even fibrous pulp. If the fibres are not yet apart, boil it again in plain water.

Put the pulp in the vat with water. Press out Nori-no-ki (Hydrangea paniculata) bark in water and add the slippery mucilage; it keeps the fibres floating apart. Ours: press the bark out in a linen bag.
