About:
The starch glue, originally made from rice, was first made in 1899 when it was sold in a glass jar for 30 yen by Mr Kinouchi.
In 1958, the plastic tub pictured here was introduced and remains unchanged since then.
Aside from its striking packaging, this glue is the crème de la crème of paper glues. It is used widely by professionals in bookbinding, fine arts and many other crafts. It is the perfect partner for working with fine papers, such as Japanese washi paper and other porous surfaces. A small spatula is included to help with application – but it can also be applied with a paint brush or finger.
Because of its 100% natural composition, this glue is acid-free for archival purposes. It can also be washed away with water.
