Papier mâché (English spelling) [France]

Japanese: パピエ・マシェ(英語表記)papier mâché[フランス]
Papier mâché (English spelling) [France]
It is a fluid material made by mixing pulp (paper pulp) with chalk, adhesive, sand, etc. It is poured into a mold and heated to solidify. It is mainly used for furniture and furnishings, and the surface is polished smooth and then lacquered or painted. To further enhance the decorative effect, it can be inlaid with blue shell or lacquer. This material originally originated in the Orient, but first appeared in the West in France in the 17th century and was introduced to England in the late 17th century. Later, in 1772, Henry Clay of Birmingham invented a panel made by adding adhesive to several sheets of special paper, heating it, and molding it into any shape, and obtained a patent for it.

Japanese:
パルプ(紙パルプ)にチョーク(白亜),接着剤,砂などを混合した,流動状の素材をいう。これを鋳型に流し込み,加熱して固形化する。主として家具や調度の部材用に使われ,表面をなめらかに磨き,漆や塗装を施す。さらに装飾効果を高めるために,青貝などの象嵌や蒔絵などを施すこともある。このような素材は元来東洋起源のものであるが,西洋では17世紀にはじめてフランスに現れ,イギリスには17世紀後期に導入された。その後,1772年にバーミンガムのヘンリー・クレーは数枚の特殊な紙に接着剤を加えて加熱し,自由な形に成型したパネルを考案し,その特許を取得した。
