Is Konnyaku powder like sodium alginate? I can’t find Konnyaku locally, but have a ready supply of alginate since I use it as a thickener when dyeing fabric. Thanks. I had never heard of Konnyaku. This video was quite educational.

How is it done?

Can I use Tapioka starch instead?

Se puede aplicar colores??? Antes o despues??? Gracias mil 🎉

Super work❤

What can u say about the papers made with oils..seems to me it wouldnt add anything to the paper but oil.and would actually not allow the paper to last...but this is totally new to me..

So what happens when u use just regular starch?

I have devil’s tongue in my garden. Is there a way I could process it for the paste? I found this video very interesting and the methods clearly explained. I will look for other videos from you. Thank you

Great explanation, thank you :)

INteresting video. I followed your links to the products used. Goodness, there's a lot of gatekeeping on your site, even to find the resellers. Typically, links are provided under videos to increase sales, not to protect your gates. My suggestion to you is to at least make it easy to find resellers, without needing to go through PID data.

Hi! My mom is Japanese so I eat a lot of Japanese food. Konnyaku jelly is one of my favorites! Is this powdered form edible too? Sometimes I can’t get the edible jelly here so wondered if the powder would be a way to make it? Thanks for the video too! I’m learning paper sculpting techniques and this would be very useful to make paper clothes for the sculptures.

could you use konnyaku on old newspaper to give it strength?? To date, I've been adding clear gesso - but maybe konnyaku would make it more fabric-like??

Eye catching.. ❤

Thank you this answered some questions I had. I can’t wait to give it a try!

I would like more information on the properties, qualities and performance of this product. Since it is a natural starch, is it hydrophilic? Will it be softened in humid environments? Will it be food for pests? You mentioned water resistance, curious.... So it cures and resists water? Does age or light break it down, or yellow it? Is the crinkling of it to add texture an aesthetic choice or does it have some purpose. Can it be left flat? Is this similar in affect to using a gel medium to coat paper? What would be the advantage or disadvantage? thanks so much! has my brain thinking of possibilities!

Super tutorial ! Unfortunately I don't live in Canada anymore and am in France. So I had to order my Konjac powder from Amaz... Would of loved to participate in your workshops, and same thing : too far... Too bad it is not available as a Live workshop on Zoom or else... The one with the lovely minature clothes seems so awesome ! Just clicked on the Subscribe button ! Thanks for all the tips !

Thank you! I do enjoy this method.

Would it be possible to do the mixing in a personal blender if one’s hands/fingers aren’t quite up to the job of constantly mixing the solution in the beginning?

Well..freezer paper and an iron works real well..no wrinkles..

Wonderful. Thank you. I so appreciate the tradition and techniques of Japanese paper making. ❤

It looked more like a gel than a paste. I know, real subtle distinction 😆🤣

Great tutorial! Thanks for showing us the traditional way of doing this. Very interesting even though I don't think I will try it just yet. I have too many irons in the fire as the moment. I will save this video and watch it again in 6 months. Have a great day 🌼🩵🌺

The only Konnyaku I could find is in sheets. Can I use that? Where can you get the paper?

If I want to use the momigami paper in a collage (instead of sewing it) will I have any problems getting the glue to hold? Does the konnyaku treatment hold up if the paper becomes wet again? Great lesson. Thanks.

Olá, poderia substituir konhaku por kanten?

Is there any different to use tapioca powder or rice flour?

why are other videos saying oil and hand lotion? too confusing to try now.

This is too complicated . One needs specialised paper,which is quite expensive. Shame... Also, the glue she is making can be obtained in a simple way. Good try,though

Thank you for your video. I used tapioca starch and used it the same as konnyaku. But my fabric paper looks nice but tears easily. So Konnyaku would be better?

But what do you make out of the paper?

Love the sound of the papers…

Stunning👌💐‼️ Thanks. Toom@CapeTown

Appreciate this! ❤

Such a lovely clear tutorial, thank you very much :)

Que otro nombre tiene el polvo ? Estoy en Colombia Gracias

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

Would a small wisk stir it better than a spoon? Of course not used to actually whip.

Im look up the powder. Is it really konjac powder. I do have that powder in my pantry. Lol, great process, i love your papers. Take care,be safe.

😌😌😌

It would have been nice if the website link was a active link as we can not copy paste anything made in the description or comments sections. Same with the items listed. For me to do manually typing in the informations I first must do a screen dump and crop down to the part needed then convert the the picture so the writing is black and the background is white, some will ask why not just write it down. I have dyslexia just writing this in the comments took me 30 minutes because I have to read it and correct it, because when typing I think I have hit the right key only to see that I have hit the one of the ones surrounding the correct letter, or spell checker has decided to change the word because of hitting the incorrect keys. I don’t see things the same way as someone who does not have dyslexia. There is no one type of dyslexia, every person who has dyslexia can be different from the next person with dyslexia. I see letters backwards I write words in reverse, it takes a lot of concentration to write things normal, with the added off cantered look of the keys, it takes a lot of concentration. Yjuw egre it cN I left that in so that you can see what I thought I had typed but had to be corrected. This is what happens when I don’t look at the words that I type, I then have to work out what it was I was trying to type in the first place. Sometimes I have to write the long way around to say something simple. I unlike so many of my age group was taught to read and write by my Mom before I got to school, so many people in my age group were not as lucky and because of this they were deemed unteachable because dyslexia was not a known thing back in the 60’s and 70’s. I was 24 when diagnosed with dyslexia when I was sent for a IQ test. Dyslexia comes in many shapes and forms,from seeing a simple word in reverse because they make different words written forward to backwards. To seeing the keyboard off cantered, to the extreme where lines merge and scramble many people have very mild dyslexia which is easy to live with it’s just seeing letters in reverse, others see this as well as things off centred to the extremes where the,lines are not straight and merge into each other. I am in the middle just bad enough to slow me down when tired and not as alert as I should be.

I love this idea. Definitely something I want to try doing. Thank you! ❤😊

Why do you crumple the paper? Also can I use Mulberry paper in this process? I’ve loads in my stash, it would be good to use it this way!

That was a lovely lil tutorial! Simple and easy to understand. Thank you! 💞

I have konjac root in my cupboard that I use in my smoothies to keep my appetite down. My question is can I use that?

I’m always fascinated by tradition methods of making a product

Great video. Thanks for explaining it so well.

Thank you! Your video is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

@the_jpp Hello. I'm interested in using shirataki noodles as a substitute for konnyaku flour to create the fiber network in momigami. Could you share your thoughts on whether shirataki noodles could work well for this purpose, given your expertise in traditional momigami materials? Thank you.

How does the konnyaku treatment affect using ink, paints, etcetera on the paper? Best to do that before the konnyaku, or can you do that afterwards too?

Just discovered Japanese Paper Place (2 years after the video was published) Watched 2 videos featuring Sigrid Blohm. Your presentations were so clearly done, so easy to follow and absorb. Thank you.
