< Japanese paper>
Compared to Western paper, washi paper is more tenacious, water-resistant, highly processable, and full of unique beauty.
For example, shoji in a Japanese-style room. Thanks to the humidity control, water absorption, heat insulation, and UV protection of a single sheet of Japanese paper, it is possible to stay cool in hot and humid summers and warm in winter.
Washi also absorbs not only water but also oil, as it is used as oil-cutting paper for oiling paper and tempura. This ability to absorb water and oil with different properties at the same time can be felt in socks and towels made of "Sasawashi".
