I would like to explain the background behind Japan's paper band handicraft. Paper bands originated from the Japanese tradition of mizuhiki decorative bands, using a special type of paper created using specific techniques. Paper bands now have a history of over fifty years of use as packaging material, due partially to the strength of the paper fibers. Recently, colorful paper bands began to be used for handicrafts. Such unusual products could only be developed in Japan, and reflect Japan's history and tradition, as well as the practicality, industriousness, and sensitivity of the Japanese people
