Mr Baba Kazuhiko is the last artisan, who makes Gold-Leaf beating paper.
Recently, most of the Gold-Leaf makers use glassine paper, very few makers still inherit their historic process of using the traditional paper. For such old-fashioned makers, he keeps making the paper. Even its purpose is very special narrow, but it can be utilized for many others.
In history, the Najio Gampi paper was used for various Japanese culture, especially paintings. It is very thin, but very tough, and also anti-worm, because it contains clay.
