"One of the great basic inventions of mankind, as important for the growth of civilisation as the wheel or the firing of glass, paper is a fabulous material, diverse ion qualities and adaptable in use. Rough and smooth, delicate and strong, prized and despised - on it Shakespeare wrote sonnets and Durer drew praying hands, while the fishmonger wraps cod in it..."

"In Japan, for various reasons, partly traditional, partly arising out of the climate, the environment and economic necessity, paper is used for many utilitarian purposes. This functional expediency in the use of a relatively inexpensive and readily available material, when acted upon by the innate sensibility of the Japanese people, has resulted in a variety of things which, though ephemeral, are often artful and amusing. Paper folding is a favourite pastime for both children and adults in Japan, and yet it is important enough to be recognised as an art for exhibition... In Mexico and Japan, perhaps more than any other countries, paper has been elaborated into the pattern of culture. It may be that their backgrounds of exceptional sources of natural disaster s, which take a heavy toll of lives , are conducive to the elaboration of art forms symbolically frail and ephemeral, explosive and transitory - paper toys and lanterns, firecrackers and friable pottery. ......
