Does anyone know how mitsumata got to Japan in the first place.
"Traditional paper" I imagine is something they've had since before the age of European colonization which brought all sorts of trade/exchange. Eg. The national-dish of 'curry' in Japan is a British twist on Indian one, and so you almost inevitably find Beef in it.
- kragen 3y agoit grows wild in china, which is where paper was invented, and which is separated from japan by the east china sea; shanghai is only about 1000km from kyushu. korea, which borders china, is even closer, about 200km: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7650836,121.5784141,6z?entry=ttu https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7650836,121.5784141,6z?entry... if you count the ryukyu islands as 'japan', ishigaki is only about 100 km from taiwan european colonization is totally irrelevant here
