History
Originally, the term nori was more generic and referred to various kinds of seaweeds including hijiki. One of the oldest descriptions about nori is dated back to around the 8th century. In the Taihō Code enacted in 701, nori was already included in the form of taxation. In Utsubo Story written around 987, nori was recognized as a common food. The original nori was formed as a paste, and the nori sheet was invented in Asakusa, Edo (contemporary Tokyo), in the Edo period by the method of Japanese papers. The word nori in Japanese has the same pronunciation as nori ("glue"), and it is presumed that these plants were also used to glue objects. [1]
