Papermaking of Japanese paper (Tosa washi)

The material of Japanese paper is made from the bark of woods.
This bark is manufactured into fine white fibers by various processes such as boil, bleaching, beating and
disentangle.
After these treatment, this fibrous material is put into the shallow container filled with water and the viscous liquid made from a plant. After stirring well, the paper is making by using the bamboo screen. This process is handwork. To make thin and uniform paper, high skill is needed.
You will see the spirit of a true workman in this short movie.

@bass109 The way you are representing Christians is not good. It is obnoxious. Please figure out a different and more polite, caring way. Thank you.
