9．Today，paper-making is a big business．But it is still possible to make paper by hand，since the steps are the same as using big machines．

Everything is placed in a container，covered with water and brought to a boil．It is mixed for about two hours with some common chemicals and then allowed to cool．Then it is left until most of the water dries up．The substance left，called pulp（紙漿），can be stored until you are ready to make paper．
When you are ready，the pulp is mixed with water again．Then the pulp is poured into a mold．The mold is made of small squares of wire that hold the shape and thickness of the paper．To help dry the paper，the mold lets the water flow through the small wire squares．
