gift wrapping tissue paper

Do they sell tissue paper (the kind of thin paper used for wrapping as a layer on gifts and for using for craft purposes) anywhere in Japan? I found a little bit of printed tissue paper at Daiso but they only had one with a design printed on it but I would like to get some solid colored pieces or some solid white pieces to make crafts with but when I go to search rakuten with ティッシュペーパー or anything like that it gives me results for the tissue paper used for blowing a nose not the kind used for gifts and crafts. Maybe there is a different word in Japanese for this that I don`t know of? Or maybe they just don`t sell it in Japan other than the 2 printed design ones at Daiso?

If you say ティッシューペーパー, yes, you would easily get the nose-blowing type only. If you want some thin, soft paper that is used for gift wrapping, you could try 薄紙 ("usu-gami" thin paper) ラッピング ("wrapping" - often used to refer to gift wrapping). For example, I found this one (among others) using the two words I mentioned above on Rakuten online mall: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/craftmonkey/cin8647/

Is your native language French? The English word "tissue", which was imported into Japanese, is a "faux ami" and not the same as the French word "tissu". Try again.

As it shows on the Rakuten link, it's not "usu-gami" but it's called 薄葉紙 read as "usu-yo-u-shi". Nowadays, you can't get anything unless you go on-line, but you may be able to find some at large stationary stores by asking for usu-yo-u-shi. Or at least they may be able to show you a catalog for you to order through the store. By the way, they call it "tissue paper" in the U.S. too. When I first started living there as an elementary school student, I was taken aback at art class...... https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=%E8%96%84%E8%91%89%E7%B4%99&espv=2&b...

Thank you both ....... and Uco, I put in both 薄紙 "usu-gami" and 薄葉紙 "usu-yo-u-shi" and both gave me some results of paper I was looking for, some were expensive but I manage to find some that were reasonably priced and come in solid colors. Also if I happen to go into a craft store I'll ask those terms just to see if I can also get them in person, thank you!
