There is no such word as

tortuorous

There is "tortuous" (probably what is intended) and "torturous" (more painful)

also... the first link below doesnt work.

[edit] "To Do" list

The link to interlog.com remains broken, but an archived version is still available (minus the odd picture).

I'm rather confused by some of the "Applications" listed here. I thought kimonos were made out of silk, for example. And how is washi used for sewing? Can anyone back up these statements?

[edit] 'Imperial Japanese'

Where does classical 'Imperial Japanese paper' fit in? Since the 19th century, many deluxe editions of American and European books have been printed in a small number on this distinctive paper with its subtle gloss and vaguely fibery structure. What is the Japanese name of it? Is it 'Insetsu-Kioku'? But I don't see that name on the Washi- and Japanese tissue-pages. Glatisant 11:03, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
