Tatoushi is special wrapping paper for storing kimonos. The name varies depending on the region. It's called "tatoushi," "tatougami," "bunko-shi," "bunko-shi," or "bunko-gami," and there are many other names... (In some places, the name "tatoushi" may also refer to kaishi paper or clothing mats.) The main roles of tatoushi are ① mold prevention, ② dust and dirt prevention, and ③ wrinkle prevention. ① Mold Prevention As the name suggests, tatoushi is made of paper, so it can absorb moisture. Humidity in drawers and closets can cause mold, so it's safe to wrap your kimono in tatoushi, which absorbs moisture. ② Dust and Dirt Prevention Even when stored in drawers and closets, dust and dirt will gradually accumulate. Wrapping your kimono in tatoushi prevents dust and dirt from directly accumulating on the kimono. ③ Wrinkle Prevention If you stack kimonos directly or put them in paper bags, they tend to get extra wrinkles. Wrapping each kimono in tatoushi makes it less likely to wrinkle even when stacked.
