This paper was used to wrap kimonos about 100 years ago and is called Tatou-shi.

 

Paper was very precious in Japan at that time, so various types of paper were glued together and reworked into a single sheet.

 

Different kinds of recycled paper were used, giving the surface an artistic quality and quiet beauty.
It is also recommended to hang it in sunlight, where subtle gradations in tone become visible.

 

This paper was used by pawnbrokers to wrap kimonos when they were taken into custody as collateral for loans.
