The first recorded use of paper marbling can be traced back to the 10th century in East Asia, particularly in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). The Chinese were known to use a marbling technique called "suminagashi," which involved floating ink or dyes on water and then transferring the patterns onto paper. Suminagashi is considered one of the earliest forms of paper marbling.

The art of paper marbling eventually spread to other parts of East Asia, including Japan, where it became known as "suminagashi" as well. From there, the technique was further developed and refined in various cultures, including the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and Europe, each adding their unique styles and methods to the art form.
