Ā 

The term is used to describe paper that uses local fiber, processed by hand and made in the traditional manner.Ā WashiĀ is made using fibers from the inner bark of theĀ gampiĀ tree, theĀ mitsumataĀ shrub (Edgeworthia chrysantha), or theĀ paper mulberryĀ (kōzo) bush.Ā As aĀ Japanese craft, it is registered as a UNESCOĀ intangible cultural heritage.Ā Ā
