Momigami by Donald Farnsworth, details the attributes of this incredibly durable paper. Pronounced mō-me-gô’-me, momigami is a vegetable product that is made of paper and starch. It has been used to make kamiko (articles of clothing) worn in Japan for thousands of years. In the West, it is also frequently used as a bookbinding paper due to its strength and durability. In Momigami, readers can learn how to create momigami, how to decorate momigami, and how to create a number of projects using momigami (such as a covered portfolio, wallet, and origami card case).
