…In the Edo period, the preference for Chinese calligraphy paper spread among literati, and from that time on, attempts were made in Japan to reproduce Chinese calligraphy paper, but they ended without any major development. Around 1948, when imports from China were cut off, Ken Ichise studied Chinese paper in Nishijima, Nakatomi-cho, Minamikoma-gun, Yamanashi Prefecture, together with calligrapher Etsudo Takeda, which led to the start of Koshu Gasenshi, followed by Inshu Gasenshi (Saji Village, Yazu-gun, Tottori Prefecture and Aoya Town, Keta-gun) in the early 1950s, and then Shodo Hanshi (Improved Hanshi) in Kawanoe City, Ehime Prefecture, and the production of Chinese-style calligraphy paper rapidly developed in Japan. Koshu Gasenshi and Kawanoe's Shodo Hanshi use a lot of recycled Mitsumata paper, while Inshu Gasenshi is characterized by a mixture of many types of wood pulp and rice straw and wheat straw, which are locally called grass. … *Some of the terminology that refers to "Inshu Gasenshi" is listed below.
