This museum has a wide selection of literature and materials related to Japanese paper, Western paper, and paper. It is located in Oji, Kita-ku, Tokyo. Its materials on Japanese paper in particular are nearly complete, and it is highly regarded worldwide. In 1950 (Showa 25), when Oji Paper Co., Ltd. was split into three companies, Tomakomai Paper (now Oji Paper), Jujo Paper, and Honshu Paper, the Paper Memorial Hall was established at the company's birthplace. It was later developed into a paper museum, and in 1965 it changed its name to its current one. The museum's journal, Hyakumanto, has also been published since 1955.
