These papers are rescued from books — primarlly Noh play books / scripts. They are woodblock printed on handmade kozo fiber washi. Many are from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The characters cannot be read by many now.

Starch Glue Stick

This glue in stick form is pure, creamy and lovely to work with Japanese starch glue stick that works well with all Japanese papers. It will not dry out and get stringy like some glue sticks.
