it is said that the process of manufacture of yamaguchi uiro was invented by jirosaku akitsu in yamaguchi city , suo province in the muromachi period . 山口ういろうは、室町時代に周防国山口市の秋津治郎作が、現在の製法を考えたとされる。
other products made by almost the same process of manufacture as furikake are ' ochazuke no moto ' (rice with green tea mix ) on which green tea is poured after it is sprinkled on top of rice , and ' onigiri no moto ' (rice ball mix ) that consists of rice sprinkled with furikake that is then mixed and made into a ball . 他にも、ふりかけた後にお茶をかける「お茶漬けの素」や、ふりかけた後ご飯に混ぜ込んで使用する「おにぎりの素」などに、ふりかけとほぼ同じ製法のものがある。
according to the book , the process of manufacture is as follows; dye both sides of a thick paper (senka-shi or senka paper ) made of kozo with the juice of gardenia , apply astringent persimmon juice once and dry , give a final coat of transparent lacquer for a flecked effect , dry in a drying room for coated lacquer ware and use in a folded form . 製法は、楮（こうぞ）の厚紙（泉貨紙）の表裏を山くちなしの汁で染め、渋を一度引いて乾かし、透明な梨子地漆で上塗りして、風呂に入れて漆を枯らし、折本のように畳んで用いるとある。
the process of manufacture is mentioned in " the explanations for the exhibits of the domestic industrial exposition 1877 " as ' pouring the materials of paper into a frame for paper making (a reed for paper making ), draw patterns such as dragon , bird and plants , take the frame out and , when water has dropped to some extent , shake the screen for six or seven times to make the wrinkle patterns .' 泰平紙の製法について『明治十年内国勧業博覧会出品解説』によると、「漉框（漉桁）に紙料を注ぎ入れてから、竜・鳥・草花などの画紋を描き、引き上げて水分がやや滴下したときに、簀を六～七回振り動かして皺紋をつくる。」とある。
