Torinokogami

The name Torinoko or small bird appears in the texts around 1330 and a dictionary dated 1444, defines its name by its eggshell color. It is a paper for calligraphy, printing prints, painted panels. It is very sensitive to water; gampi fibers are often blended with other fibers to counter this problem.
