Washi has found a new form as a tape, usually combined with acrylic glue. It is similar to masking tape in that it is removable from most surfaces. Washi is produced in a way similar to that of ordinary paper, but fewer chemicals are used. It involves a long and intricate process that is often undertaken in the cold weather of winter, as pure, cold running water is essential to the production of washi. Cold inhibits bacteria, preventing the decomposition of the fibres. [wikipedia]
