Jungshi Handmade Paper Factory in the capital city of Thimphu.
About 1500 times a day, one by one, and all by hand, a wooden frame with a bamboo screen filter is dipped into a vat of pulp and starch mixture, is swished around to allow a thin layer of the mixture to spread out evenly over the screen, and is transferred to a table where the screen is carefully removed to result in a single sheet of Bhutanese paper.
A very important part of Bhutanese culture and tradition is handmade paper making. Historically paper has been made to provide Buddhist monasteries with paper for woodblock and manuscript books, and for writing prayers and mantras. Today handmade paper making continues to preserve and promote this age-old tradition, as well as to create many other products, such as stationery and greeting cards.

Jungshi Handmade Paper Factory, Thimphu
The entire process to produce one sheet of paper actually takes three days. The dipping and swishing is just part of it. The process begins with pulling bark off the trees, and soaking strips of bark in water for 24 hours.
The bark is then boiled and washed, and further cleaned, separating good, fine fibers from bad fibers. The fibers are crushed and pounded by a machine into a wood pulp, and then mixed by hand in a vat, with water and a vegetable starch made from the Hibiscus plant root.
A wooden frame with a bamboo screen filter, approximately two feet by three feet in size, is dipped into the vat of the pulp and starch mixture, and is swished around to allow a thin layer of the mixture to spread out evenly over the screen.
Carefully the screen, now covered with a thin layer of the mixture, is removed from the wooden frame.
The screen is carried from the vat…to a table where a stack of paper has already been started.
A whole stack of paper is then compressed to squeeze out any extra water. Each sheet of paper is taken off the stack, one by one, and is hung to dry on smooth vertical easel-type boards.
Finally, there is a sorting process of taking the best handmade paper and using that for products, and recycling the rejected paper.

2019年8月26日 月曜日
ブータンのティンプーにあるジャングシ和紙工場にお邪魔しました。
これ、本当に和紙なんです。
島根県の旧三隈町(現浜田市)にある石州和紙が、ブータンの研修生を受け入れて、技術援助を行って完成したのがブータンの和紙。
ブータンには、もともと和紙の原料であるミツマタやコウゾが採れるところだったんですね。
ここにも、ブータンと日本の密接な関係がありました。

Papermaking in Bhutan, April 2015
Papermaking in Bhutan. They are making our JDK paper. See website
JDK is an artists’ handmade paper made from the inner bark or bast fibre of de-kar, not to be confused with de-nar (see Tsasho paper). De-kar has a lighter colour and has a superfine silk like quality. It is a native plant of the Himalayan foothills, sustainable and a renewable resource. Plants are cropped above ground level and can be reharvested after 3-4 years. The papermakers are using the Japanese nagashizuki method. The paper is made on a laid mould of split bamboo which gives a laid pattern to the sheet.
