Archival photograph of someone lifting a damp sheet of paper from a stack of sheets after pressing, who will then apply it to a drying board using a straw brush to dry in the sun, circa 1950s, photo likely taken by Nobumitsu Katakura. The strings visible on the bottom right corner of the stack separate each sheet, making the separation of each individual sheet possible
