Oil paper - Aburagami

Japanese: 油紙 - あぶらがみ
Oil paper - Aburagami

A processed paper made by applying drying oils such as paulownia oil, perilla oil, or linseed oil to washi paper or astringent paper and then drying it. It is also called "yushi." It is water-resistant and strong, and was used as a waterproof packaging material for umbrellas, raincoats, oil-sliding screens, etc., but in recent years it has been replaced by water-resistant packaging materials such as paraffin paper and plastic, and is rarely seen. Thin Manila paper soaked in neutral mineral oil is also called oil paper, and is used for packaging, etc.

Japanese:

桐油(きりゆ)、荏油(えのあぶら)またはあまに油などの乾性油を和紙または渋紙に塗布し乾燥して得た加工紙。「ゆし」ともいう。耐水性で強力であり、耐水・包装材料として唐傘(からかさ)、雨合羽(あまがっぱ)、油障子などに用いられたが、最近ではパラフィン紙やプラスチックなどの耐水性包装材料に追われ、ほとんどみられなくなった。また、中性の鉱物油を含浸した薄いマニラ紙も油紙といわれ、包装などに使用される。
