In the "Shinsen Kamikagami" (Newly edited Kamikagami) fusuma paper was written as 'karakami' and there is a description that 'karakami paper was mostly called toshi. However, since this is confused with Mobenshi (Chinese paper named after Moshin - 毛晋), it came to be called karakami.'
『新選紙鑑』には、襖紙のことを「からかみ」とし、「から紙多く唐紙といふ。しかれども毛辺紙にまぎるるゆへここにから紙としせり」とある。
