In the picturesque village of Hidaka in Japan, they make the thinnest paper. Its thickness is only 0.02 mm.
In the picturesque village of Hidaka, Japanese craftsmen work real miracles. They create paper that is only 0.02 mm thick. Ten virtuosos of their craft transform the delicate fibers of paper mulberry into a material that can only be compared to a butterfly wing or morning dew on a spider web.
This weightless paper is a lifeline for world art. Restorers use it as a magic wand to bring priceless volumes, canvases, and historical documents back to life. This proves that sometimes the greatest power is hidden in the most delicate matters.
