Archival photograph of Tadao Endō (1913-1997) transferring a freshly-made sheet of paper from his bamboo screen to his stack of sheets. Note the small strings visible on the right side of the stack - these keep the sheets separated and allow for them to be peeled off individually for drying after pressing the stack, circa 1990s
