Drying boards use a great amount of pine and gingko wood. In Mino, Japanese horse chestnut is often used. The sheets of paper are applied one at a time to the drying board with a brush and dried in natural sunlight. If the weather is good, it takes about 3 hours to dry, but takes about one day if there is rain. Lastly, the paper is sorted, counted and lined up.
