Udaban refers to the long format of the paper – traditionally used for scroll mounting

A relatively heavy paper

Great for water based media, relief printing and mokuhanga

Exceptionally heavy, made with Thai kozo, this paper is TOUGH! Especially good for encaustic, waterbased media, and woodcuts, the sky's the limit for use."
