TIMOTHY BARRETT

One of 300 copies printed by Henry Morris on "Nagashizuki" paper made at the Bird & Bull Press. Timothy Barrett, a young papermaker and historian of papermaking, traveled around Japan, visiting the artisans who preserve the traditions of hand papermaking. In this work, dedicated "to the early craftsmen, Eastern and Western, who produced some of the most durable, honest, and attractive papers we will ever know," he focuses on the technical processes of how paper is made in Japan. He discusses, among other topics, raw fiber production and the advantages of fiber from young mulberry trees.
