Kozo paper
|
Kozo is an elegant, Iong-fibred paper with an absorbent surface made from the bark of the paper mulberry ( Broussonetia papyrifera). This tree, which is related to the true mulberry, is a native of China and other parts of Asia and Polynesia; it is cultivated in Japan specifically for the purpose of making paper. Books made of kozo paper were introduced to Japan by Chinese priests in the 7th century.
