Culture et usages de la plante

Hibiscus cannabinus is an annual herb which can reach more than 3 m high. The flowers are pale yellow or red with crimson centres. Blooming occurs from summer to autumn. Its growth is rapid; the plant can reach over four feet in four months.

Kenaf was grown in Egypt a millennium BC for making ropes and cloth (bags, sails).

The plant is grown all over Asia, mainly as fiber crop and for its oil which is used industrially. The fibers are used in the manufacture of coarse fabrics such as carpets.

Kenaf is used in India for the manufacture of cigarette paper. The rapid growth of the plant encourages papermakers to use it instead of wood in the production of paper pulp. Thus, the bast fibers or the whole stem itself are used.

Japon:

Kenaf is a modern paper fiber in Japan.

Procédés de fabrication

The harvest takes place in November-December when the stem has lost its leaves.

Literally paper from Jinsu montain. It was manufactured in Suzhou (Jiangsu) specifically for the copy of the Tripitaka from the Guanghui Temple (Zhejiang) at the end of the 11th century. It's a tough and shiny paper, waxed on both sides. This paper has been widely imitated. The original paper is a blend of hemp and mulberry paper fibers.

Culture et usages de la plante

Salix koreensis is a tree that can reach 20m in height.

Corée:

From the Joseon period (1392-1910), raw materials traditionally used for paper production, mainly bark of Broussonetias begin to fail. Papermakers face to a growing demand for paper stimulated by the development of publications initiated during the Goryeo period (907-1392). Other plants will be used to provide a fiber supplement such as wisteria, rice, oat and barley straws, bamboo, jute, cotton and hemp but also reeds, the bark and needles of pine, the leaves of willow. Indeed, the willow leaves seem to be used as a complementary fiber source to fibers of paper mulberry from the 15th century.
