Paper was made in many parts of Japan since ancient times. One record has it being given to [[Emperor Daigo]] as a [[tribute]] good from [[Tosa province]] in the 10th century.

Paper was regularly and frequently reused; even after being written on, paper was very often repurposed, being used as backing for ''fusuma'' and ''shôji'', or in the making of boxes or a variety of other objects. Historians today continue to discover new and useful documents of everyday life in the process of conserving, restoring, or otherwise examining old household objects such as ''fusuma'' and ''byôbu''.
