(4) Ideas for using paper Paper is probably the first inevitable material used for plane KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design). Though the general method is to draw with ink and paints on the paper and to finish it. Expression can be done even without using paper. The embossing described in the previous section is an example, but other methods will be discussed.
(i) Rubbing and twisting
Since paper has a weakness with water, wet paper
will be twisted after rubbing. It will be wrinkled by rubbing hard. Paper
strings formed by twisting Japanese paper have long been used. "Mizuhiki",
used for ceremonial occasions, is made as follows. Paper string is painted
with Chinese white and water glue to solidify, and beauty and hardness
are given to it as a string material.
Development of modelings using "Mizuhiki" is unique
in Japan.
