Washi: Japanese Art Paper for Printmaking, Painting, Collage, and Crafting

Japanese Paper, also known as "washi" is a high quality medium for artists, artisans, and crafters. It looks delicate but is very strong and is very absorbent. Each type of washi has its own tone, weight, and texture appearance. Sheets have a smooth side and a toothy side.

To try out a variety of 8x10 sheets, check out the Fine Art Intro pack or any of the Assorted packages.

About Japanese Paper:

The inner barks of three renewable shrubs indigenous to Japan — kozo, mitsumata and gampi — are the primary fibres used in making washi.

Traditionally, each sheet is laid to dry on boards in the open air.
