Blotting paper - Suitorigami

Japanese: 吸取紙 - すいとりがみ
Blotting paper - Suitorigami

Paper that absorbs ink remaining on its surface. Also called pressed paper. It became popular from England in the late 19th century, but was used in Japan only after ink was imported in 1872 (Meiji 5). It began to be produced from around 1887, and when red-dyed cotton cloth was used as the main ingredient, it was pale red in color due to insufficient bleaching, but when wood pulp was used as the raw material, white paper was produced. It is filtered with the addition of fillers, dehydrated slowly, and dried for a long time at a low temperature to increase the gaps between the fibers.

Japanese:

紙面に残ったインキを吸い取る紙。押し紙ともいう。19世紀後半にイギリスから広まったが、日本では1872年(明治5)にインキが輸入されてから使用された。1887年ごろから漉(す)き出され、緋金巾(ひかなきん)(赤く染めた木綿の布)類を主原料としていたころは、脱色が不十分なために薄赤色をしていたが、木材パルプを原料とするようになってから白色のものができた。填料(てんりょう)を加えて漉き、脱水を緩やかにし、低温度で長く乾燥させて繊維間隙(かんげき)を多くしてある。
