Preservation of Japanese paper photos
Washi becomes an adult
Handmade Japanese paper, which is an accumulation of natural materials, takes time to stabilize.
If the ideal environment is maintained, it takes one to two years for washi paper to reach its most stable texture and luster.
Mounting craftsmen who create hanging scrolls and folding screens refer to this state as "washi becoming an adult."
The Shosoin in Nara has works of art made of Japanese paper that were born more than a thousand years ago, and they are the result of various preservation techniques such as proper dehumidification, drying, and insect repellent.
It's not good to keep it closed, and it's not good to keep it on display
The hanging scrolls preserved in temples in Kyoto are regularly displayed to the public as a dehumidification measure by exposing them to the air.
Permanent exhibitions are also not good because they cause dust and dirt.
Washi is a completely organic material that needs to be aired regularly.
Do not store in places with high temperatures or in direct sunlight
Avoid placing the product in direct sunlight, such as near a heater, near a window, or near a lighting fixture.
Moisture is the enemy of Japanese paper
Lockers and closets tend to trap moisture and cause mold to grow. The use of a desiccant is also mandatory.
Strictly no metals or chemicals
Sellotape and cam tape generate chemical substances such as petroleum-based volatile agents, which can cause deterioration and discoloration of Japanese paper.
Also avoid metal frames, as they can cause dew condensation.
Leaving it in the file case will cause condensation and press the plant fibers on the surface, so please take it out when storing.
