Abstract:In response to requirements change and technology progresses, a new category of Japanese handmade washi, the mechanized washi, has been derived. This paper discussed the connotation, definition and scope of application of washi, provided a systematic introduction to the evolution of Japanese washi, and focused on gathering technological innovations in the process of mechanizing washi, including effective measures such as the addition of chemical substances and tool improvements. While evolving and innovating, washi also strived to preserve traditional techniques. This article prospected the significance of washi innovation for the future inheritance and development of traditional Chinese handmade paper. Chinese handmade paper should strengthen the standardization and normalization of all aspects of the papermaking process to protect the characteristics of traditional papermaking technology. At the same time, evaluation indicators and strategies should also be improved to ensure the quality and sustainable development of paper after mechanization.
