Japanese vellum
A thick paper produced in Japan from native fibers
that are of relatively great length. The paper has
a very cloudy formation and is tough and durable.
The color is usually cream or natural, and the
paper is finished with a smooth surface. Japanese
vellum is suitable for engravings, etc., or where
a very durable paper is required. An imitation,
made by treating ordinary paper with sulfuric
acid, is sometimes called "Japon." (156 )
