Both techniques were clearly intended for basketweaving.  The first was particularly reed-like but the second could be used for knot tying.  I would love to understand what exactly is going on when he's spinning the paper there.  It'd also be good to know how he joins his pieces for a continuous cord (or does he?).

Japan also has paper yarn that they use for loom weaving, knitting, and other fibre techniques.  I suspect theirs is done with industrial processes though rather than handmade by artisans.  8)

I've long had a project in mind for paper cord, but my spinning has not gone well.  Looks like I should have been using much wider pieces of paper... 

Cool video finds!

This method is illustrated in Figure 6a-c.
