Glossary

Gampi

Gampi refers to a bast fiber traditionally used in Japanese papermaking, with long, thin, shiny fibers of uniform thickness. Although gampi grows wild in much of the Far East, it has resisted cultivation and Japan now imports its fiber from China and Korea. This has resulted in a decline of its use in paper production
