The thinnest piece of paper in the world

Making the Thinnest Sheet of Paper in the World


Japanese specialist paper manufacturer Hidaka Washi Ltd makes the world’s thinnest paper using 1,000-year-old methods.

The paper is then sent to museums and libraries around the world—including the British Museum and the Library of Congress—and is used to restore and protect books and works of art.
