枚 - Sheet Of...
To count a Sheet Of... paper in Japanese you use 枚, picturing a folding chair leaned against a Tree with a flat sheet of paper balanced on it. Ancient record-keepers would literally tally sheets of wood or paper by laying them against a tree or chair, which is why this counter remains tied to flat things today.
