Decorative Lokta Paper
Handmade and air dried in Nepal, the
production of this paper honors traditional Japanese papermaking
techniques in the manner in which it is poured and air dried. This
method of papermaking includes a direct relationship with the earth.
This means that production is influenced by the elements, sometimes
producing interesting variations. Lokta has long and luxurious fibers,
giving the sheets their natural shine. The paper sheets measure 20" x
30", are acid-free and feature four deckled edges. Paper designs are
printed using silk-screening, woodblock and other printing techniques.
Manufactured by hand in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal by a certified
fair trade workshop. As the paper is handmade, small variations in color
and thickness can occur.
