Japanese paper

The archives at WSU own two small volumes of a Japanese fairy tale
series: 15cm long x 10cm wide. col. ill. Engl. translation published by
T. Hasegawa, Tokyo, no date I can read.  The material looks and feels
like thin crepe-paper. Held against light it reveals a loose weave as
with crepe (crinkled cloth of silk or cotton).  What is this
combination material called. How is it made?  i will appreciate
responses
