Description
1) An unstandardized name for soft, tissue-thin paper.
2) Paper made from thin layers of pith cut from rice paper trees, Tetrapanax papyrifera cultivated in China and Japan or from Aralia papyrifera cultivated in Thailand. The pith is cut in spirals to form long ribbons. The exposed cellular structure of the pith gives the paper a unique spongy structure. Rice paper is stretchy when wet and brittle when dry. It will crack when heated and is easily damaged by abrasion. Rice paper was popular for Chinese watercolor paintings in the 19th century. The delicate, porous textured paper is also used for artificial flowers.
3) Paper made from rice straw. See straw.
Synonyms and Related Terms
