There is "tortuous" (probably what is intended) and "torturous" (more painful) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdn~enwiki (talk • contribs) 08:24, 3 February 2005

"To Do" list
The link to interlog.com remains broken, but an archived version is still available (minus the odd picture).
I'm rather confused by some of the "Applications" listed here. I thought kimonos were made out of silk, for example. And how is washi used for sewing? Can anyone back up these statements?
Even though mixed media clothing would be whatever base washi is actually made from...not the paper itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Washimaster (talk • contribs) 20:45, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
'Imperial Japanese'
Where does classical 'Imperial Japanese paper' fit in? Since the 19th century, many deluxe editions of American and European books have been printed in a small number on this distinctive paper with its subtle gloss and vaguely fibery structure. What is the Japanese name of it? Is it 'Insetsu-Kioku'? But I don't see that name on the Washi- and Japanese tissue-pages. Glatisant 11:03, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Price
How does it compare in price in Japan to Western-style paper? --Error (talk) 02:04, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
more expensive as most is some form of handmade and material is not quite as readily available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Washimaster (talk • contribs) 20:48, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
I fixed the link. Thank you for pointing that out. Oda Mari (talk) 14:20, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
Made from Rice?
Should this be 'rice straw?' The term 'rice paper' is still in circulation for Japanese papers; for example, an educated Swiss German gentleman asked me in Feb 2016 about mulberry paper. I pointed out that the word is similar in German - 'Maulbeere.' The word 'kozo' is not in general use, I believe. He said: 'Isn't it made from rice?' I suggested he try to eat it.
We do not have to use a phrase,’via Korea’, when we talk about history of Japan.
Korea was just ‘path’, but paper came from China directly by shipping. 2400:2410:8182:A00:8898:D076:9AA2:521B (talk) 09:28, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
