Aka-Iwa Paper Studio2014.10.31
I'm not sure what I should call his paper studio. His job is to put sizing over washi made in the village. His family used to make paper but he stopped making paper about 38 years ago. At that time there was a need to have paper sized for woodblock printing.
This is gelatinous glue that they use mainly for washi for woodblock prints. It was made from whale before, but now bones of different animals. We're not sure !
