This group of Washi includes our finest printmaking papers. They are all entirely handmade, with deckle edges on all four sides. The papers are medium to heavy weight, and strong enough to easily withstand multiple printings from multiple blocks. The colors range from white to natural, and give back sharp, clear colors when printed. They are of high fiber content, tear beautifully, and all are acid free.
| Nishinouchi - Natural 29.25" x 41.75" | ||||||
|
A great paper with a subtly brushed texture and the translucency of more fragile papers, Nishinouchi is surprisingly strong and able to withstand repeated printings from multiple blocks. The texture and natural warm color of the paper adds liveliness to a print while giving back sharp, crisp colors from water- or oil- based inks. Tears exceptionally well. Ideal for woodblock, linocut, monotype and book arts. Sized, handmade (four deckle edges) |

| Kizuki Hanga - Off-White 27" x 40.5" | ||||||
|
An exceptionally low price for a 100% Kozo paper of this weight. Ideal for multiple block prints that require many rubbings, Kizuki Hanga's weight and heavy body make it easy to lay full-size dampened sheets on the block. The slightly off-white shade creates an excellent background for sharp, luminous, clear colors from printing inks. While it can be used for any Western style of printmaking, Kizuki Hanga is intended for the serious printmaker using water-based inks and Japanese techniques. Sized, handmade (four deckle edges) |

| Gampi - Off-White 20" x 30" | ||||||
|
A beautiful, versatile handmade paper, with a luminescent surface and a lovely, soft, dense hand. It is a waterleaf paper and naturally absorbent. Even without sizing Gampi works beautifully for moku hanga; just work a little drier and add a bit more nori. Also suitable for western block printing, intaglio, litho, sumi painting and book arts. Now available in off-white and creamy natural. Sized, handmade (four deckle edges) |

Echizen Kozo - Natural 26" x 38" |

|
Water-based inks printed on this paper seem to glow from within. It is a fairly soft, dense, medium-weight paper, smooth on one side, and accepts ink beautifully. The off-white color adds a lovely warm feeling to the finished print. This exceptionally fine printmaking paper is a joy to use for moku hanga and works exceedingly well with all relief printmaking styles. Tears very easily. Now available in natural and white. Sized, handmade (four deckle edges) |
