Sufu was a wartime material used briefly in Japan during World War II when cotton and other woven materials were scarce.[1]
It was an inexpensive, ersatz cloth made of wood fibers, basically cellulose, that disintegrated after three or four washings and was highly flammable. The warp threads were of cotton fibers; the weft consisted of twisted paper.
