JPH11323784A - Japanese paper patterned with petal or the like - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a patterned Japanese paper having a volume feeling in uses of flower arrangement, interior article, packaging, wall paper, etc., capable of producing what a conventional Japanese paper can not produce. SOLUTION: This patterned Japanese paper comprises a bast fiber such as Broussonetica kazinoki, Edgeworthia papyrifera, etc., as a main raw material and is spread with an addition material, obtained by roughly grinding flowers, stems and leaves of a plant into about 1-3 cm, only on one layer. The weight ratio of the addition material on the whole paper is about 5-70%.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Japanese paper made of flowers, stems, leaves and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Handmade Japanese paper has a history of more than 1000 years, and has been frequently used in shoji paper, calligraphy paper, and Daifuku book until recently. In modern times, machine-made paper occupies most of the paper products around us, and handmade Japanese paper is used only for high-quality calligraphy paper and some art objects.

[0003] Handmade Japanese paper is manufactured as follows. Bast fiber of plants such as mulberry, mitsumata, and ganpi is used as a raw material. First, the stems of these plants are cut, steamed and peeled. Dodge this skin, tap it or scrape it with a sword to remove the dark skin,
Take out white bast. Then, they are boiled in an alkaline liquid such as soup or lime water, or exposed to running water or chemicals to produce pure white fibers. Beat the fibers well and add them to the water. Add the mucus (Neri) from the root of the plant called Trollois and mix well. Neri prevents the fibers from clumping together in water and also helps to stick the fibers together when making paper.
This liquid is scooped up on the bamboo stalks, so that the fibers are entangled to form a thin layer, and the water is drained off.

[0004] Handmade Japanese paper is used in several parts of Japan.
Even today, it is made in this way. Since the mulberry fiber is slender and supple, strong paper is produced, and from Mitsumata, it is not as strong as mulberry, but it is shiny.
You can make dense paper. Gumpi fibers are translucent like silk, so you can make a thin, slightly transparent paper called gumpy paper. In any case, handmade washi uses the function of water to orderly and sufficiently intertwin bast fibers. Since it is made of pure natural fiber only, without using adhesives like paper, the preservative power of Japanese paper that can withstand thousands of years is born.

[0005]

As described above, handmade Japanese paper is the most characteristic property in that it becomes a strong paper due to the entanglement of natural fibers, and even today, in the direction of taking advantage of such properties. It is considered to be a use, and improvement of a paper making method suitable for such a use may be considered.

[0006] In such a way of thinking, there is a Japanese paper made from a very small amount of vegetable fiber into the Japanese paper from the viewpoint of facilitating the interest of a person with a texture or a slightly strange feeling. This is, for example, a product name “Noyama no Washi” sold at 4069-1, Kawanoe-cho, Kawanoe-shi, Ehime prefecture. This "Noyama Washi"
In the paper making process, the stalks and leaves of the plant are made of fine fibers, and as shown in Fig. 3, the fine fibers are slightly visible on the surface of Japanese paper. And less than 1% by weight based on the whole. Therefore, the surface of the Japanese paper is also smooth, just like ordinary Japanese paper, and is finished so that the surface can be written with a brush. Therefore, its use is also haiku collection,
It is like a stationery set.

[0007] As described above, conventional Japanese paper did not come out of the concept of paper, and was not necessarily bulky or made of anything other than the raw material of Japanese paper so that the strength was reduced. The present invention breaks the concept of Japanese paper and provides a new concept of woven Japanese paper that has a sense of volume in applications such as flower arrangements, interior goods, packaging, and wallpaper, and can produce effects that were not possible with conventional Japanese paper. The purpose is to:

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems The woven Japanese paper according to claim 1 is mainly made of bast fiber such as mulberry or mitsumata, and to which additional materials obtained by roughening the flowers, stems and leaves of a plant are added. , And the weight ratio of the additional material to the whole is about 5 to 70%.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The woven Japanese paper of the present invention is characterized by adding much more non-bast fiber to the bast fiber, which is a main raw material of the Japanese paper, than conventional common sense.

As the bast fiber of Japanese paper, which is a main raw material, mulberry, mitsumata and ganpi are used as in the case of conventional Japanese paper. The processing method up to the step of combining these raw materials may be the same as the conventional method.

The additional materials to be added are flowers, stems, leaves and the like of plants. Specifically, calendula flowers, roots, rape blossoms, stock stalks, leaves of ashitaba, bamboo skin, wormwood, panicle , But not limited to these, and various types can be used. These additional materials do not become entangled with the bast fiber, which is the main raw material, so they were not mixed in large amounts in Japanese paper with conventional technical knowledge. Is 5% to 7
If it is about 0%, the strength as Japanese paper does not decrease abnormally, and it has been confirmed that the paper has shape retention and can be three-dimensionally formed as a flower arrangement or packaging paper.

Since the additional material is finished as paper in a state where it is mixed with the bast fiber without being entangled with the bast fiber, if the weight ratio of the additional material to the entirety is 70% or more, the paper becomes It is not preferable because the strength becomes weak and the additional material easily peels off. Further, if the weight ratio of the additional material to the whole is 5% or less, it is difficult to distinguish the appearance from the conventional Japanese paper and it is difficult to attract human interest, which is not preferable. When the weight ratio of the additional material to the whole is about 5% to 70%, the volume of the finished washi is obtained, and calendula flowers and stock stems are very conspicuous on the surface, rich in elegance. The rough surface also expresses a kind of artistry.

[0013] The additional material is too large in its original size and cannot be made into Japanese paper, so it is preferable to roughly grind it using a mixer or the like to a length of about 1 cm to 3 cm, and to make it in. The method of making is that in the conventional hand-making process of traditional Japanese paper, the raw material is mixed with coarsely ground additional materials.
You can make it.

FIG. 1 shows a woven paper of the present invention in which mulberry is used as a main material and calendula flowers are used as an additional material, and FIG. 2 is a woven paper which is made using mulberry as a main material and stock flowers are used as an additional material. It is made Japanese paper.

[0015] These woven Japanese papers have a bulkiness, a sense of volume and a brilliant presence of the primary colors of flowers, unlike conventional Japanese paper. In addition, as a use to take advantage of these features, flower arrangements and interior supplies, packaging, wallpaper, picture letters, calligraphy, lighting, general lighting, packaging, tatami, bran, place mat, coaster, hat,
There are curtains, tapestries, slippers, graphics, paper dolls, animals, calendars, tea room paper sheets, sunshades, three-dimensional maps, bookbinding, diaries, book covers, bookmarks, photo frames, pot covers, architectural Japanese paper, etc. However, the application is not limited thereto, and is not limited.

[0016]

According to the present invention, there is provided a new concept of woven Japanese paper which has a sense of volume in various uses such as flower arrangements, interior goods, packaging, and wallpaper, and is capable of producing effects that were not possible with conventional Japanese paper. Can be.
