Tissue paper - Usuyoushi

Japanese: 薄葉紙 - うすようし
Tissue paper - Usuyoushi

In the paper industry there are two types:

(1) Tissue paper: A general term for thin paper such as India paper, cigarette paper, and mimeograph paper. There are many types depending on the use. Western paper is mainly made from chemical wood pulp, but when a particularly thin and strong paper is required, chemical pulp made from Manila hemp, flax, or cotton is often used alone or in combination.

(2) Toilet paper: A general term for disposable paper such as sanitary paper and facial wipes. It is made primarily from recycled pulp from waste paper (old paper), is not sized (added with a filler for smoothing), and is usually made using a Yankee machine with a device that creates crepe (shrinkage).

(1)薄紙 インディアペーパー、シガレットペーパーおよび謄写版原紙など薄い紙の総称。用途によって種類は多い。洋紙では木材化学パルプを主原料とするが、とくに薄くてじょうぶな紙を必要とする場合には、マニラ麻、亜麻(あま)または綿から得られた化学パルプを単独で用いたり、配合する例が多い。

(2)トイレットペーパー 衛生紙、顔ふき紙などの使い捨て紙の総称。故紙(古紙)(こし)の再生パルプを主原料とし、サイズ(平滑化のための填料(てんりょう))は施さず、通常、クレープ(縮み)がつけられるような装置をもつヤンキーマシンを用いて抄造する。
