If you love paper like I do, and especially washi, you will understand the passion behind these quotations taken from "Washi The World of Japanese Paper" by Sukey Hughes.
A painting, a poem -
How paper reveals a man's (person's) soul.
It is said that papar is made by people, but it
would be better to say that the blessedness of
nature produces paper....Those who study washi
study at the same time the depth of nature.
Soetsu Yanagi
Dying things are kept alive by thinking
of them. So it is with washi.
