We like this paper for the forms it creates but it has a purpose as well, to make paper flowers. The company which produces the paper started as a glue manufacturer in 1899 and continues to lead the Japanese market in glue production. Over time they needed to branch out so they began to produce this paper which, when combined with their glue and a bit of handiwork, can be used to create flowers in the same tradition as the nuns in France and Italy did when paper was still considered a rarity. The strips can be used for decoration, making flowers, marking pages, tying objects together, etc. Visual instructions included for making flowers.
