hi just a question, I'm not quite sure what "Japanese style ricepaper washi" is. Does that mean it has to come from japan? I have washi I bought at Michael's is that ok? (for example this kind http://goo.gl/etw61p) Its paper washi, but how do I tell if its made with rice paper?

It does not need to come from Japan (that would be bit too expensive) but here in Germany, at least, some papertapes are advertised as washi, but they are not. They are stiff and does not stick to anything, not even paper. Japan style washi is slightly transparent, thin and flexible rice paper tape.
