I'm still deliberating over how to do it to avoid using paste. I've got an OLD piece I'd love to display, and am still trying to figure how to display it (and weapons on it) while damaging it as little as possible.

I have done this also. I used a museum site for how to. Here is the basics.

Get some very wide Velcro. Attach one side of it to a piece of wood. I stapled it to the wood. A 1 x or whatever is the best size for the piece, as long as the tapa.

The other piece of Velcro should be baste stitched to the tapa. A baste stitch is just a very loose hand stitch. No machine. Nothing tight. It is a stitch that can be removed without damaging the piece.

Mount your wood where you want and attach the tapa via the Velcro. It won't allow the tapa to rip and you can mount it and move it easily.

This piece of tapa was hung that way in an apartment so I only needed a couple of srecs to hang it.
