This tapioca starch paste is an excellent adhesive for working with washi (Japanese paper) It will not alter the character of papers like other glues can, maintaining the translucence and supple surface of washi. In a squeezable tube, this paste is ready to use.
Washi is the Japanese word for the traditional papers made from the long inner fibres of three plants, wa meaning Japanese and shi meaning paper. The three plants are kozo (mulberry), mitsumata and gampi fibres.
