This web-site shows how traditional Japanese paper is made, what the paper is often used for, papermaker interviews, and it also has many wonderful photos. It is pretty cool that the paper we incorporate into our own design also represents the beautiful design of another. aahhh....if only I lived in Japan. Although I was mainly interested in learning about paper, this site includes information on weaving, dyeing, paper stencils - amazing, wood working, bamboo and even metal casting. Most of the artists interviewed are considered "master craftsman... and has devoted (their) entire life to this craft."
