These Japanese papers are still made by hand by skilled craftspersons
using the earth-friendly techniques and materials of their ancestors.
These papers are painstakingly made from the inner bark of 3 renewable
species of plants - kozo, mitsumata and gampi. No fillers have been
added, no harsh caustic soda used to hasten the process and no bleach to
whiten the colour. As a result, these papers are very strong, absorbent
and archival with a fine beautiful surface. They await your touch to
complete the conversation. This is a fantastic way to try ten different papers that are exquisitely handmade by master paper artisans! Perfect for printmaking, chine colle, encaustic, sumi painting, and much more. Packages include a swatch sheet for identification and future reference, and one sheet (approximately 8.5x11") of the following papers:
