The result is a paper that carries a quiet shimmer, subtle and honest.\u003cbr\u003eIt is thin and semi-translucent, but surprisingly strong. The mulberry fibers give it a durability that machine-made paper cannot replicate.\u003cbr\u003eThis paper works beautifully for sumi-e painting, Japanese calligraphy, bookbinding, collage, art journaling, and fine paper crafts.
