In the 19th century the methed of mass production of carbon paper was developed in the U.S.A. and, with the popularization of the typewriter, the use of carbon paper spread to various countries of the world. In Japan, handmade carbon paper was produced at the end of the 19th century. Technical improvement was made early in the 20th century, and the method of mass production using machinery was developed. This replaced handmade products, and the volume of use of carbon paper as a stationery gradually increased.
