2. Found this. Sounds interesting.

Sasawashi is made from a blend of Japanese paper and herbs. The paper properties were originally intended for use in housing, regulating humidity and to protect rooms from thermal changes. The Japanese herbal weave consists of various fibers, vitamins and even amino acids. It also is said to have an anti-bacterial, blood purification and anti-allergic agent that is beneficial to the human skin.
