Abstract

Japanese paper made in Saijo City is called shuso, and its making is a traditional Japanese craft. One of the main characteristics of shuso paper is a crepe structure called shibo. The shibo structure is made by hand; it is fabricated by bending the edge of the shuso paper toward the front. The shibo structure is affected by the bending angle. In recent years, the demand for shuso paper has stagnated. Shuso paper requires the creation of new products. However, the preferred type of shuso paper is unclear. The shibo structure of shuso paper can easily be changed to prepare many types of shibo structures. This study quantified shibo structures of shuso paper under various fabrication conditions. The preferences of subjects from different countries for shuso paper with various shibo structures were clarified.
