Japanese leather

From: Susan L. Maltby <*susan.maltby*> Date: Thursday, January 17, 2002 · susan.maltby

I am currently investigating early interior finishes for an 1889
building.  A period newspaper article describes the walls as being
covered with "Japanese leather".  This is a term that I am not
familiar with.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
