This is an irreplaceable material that combines a record low basis weight (from just 2 g/m²) with strength you won't find in any European paper. Thanks to fibres up to 10 mm long, Japanese tissue paper guarantees a durable repair while maintaining the original's complete flexibility. Here you'll find classic sheets, economical rolls, papers without alkaline buffer, and variants with heat-activated adhesive, ready for immediate use.
The secret lies in its nature and traditional method of production. Japanese paper (washi) is made from the long plant fibres of kozo (paper mulberry), gampi or mitsumata. It is these long, „interlocking” fibres that make even the thinnest sheet almost impossible to tear by hand. In professional conservation worldwide, Japanese paper is the first choice when the highest quality and safety of an object are paramount.
True artistry lies in a repair that becomes part of the object. Appropriately selected Japanese tissue paper allows for patching tears or reinforcing creases in such a way that the area of intervention is almost impossible to distinguish from the original. It is the only material that offers such certainty and aesthetics when laminating entire sheets or filling in losses using the add-on method.
