Beautiful handmade sheets with four deckle edges. Snowbleached fibre cooked with wood ash, wet sheets stored in snow (kangure) in winter, dried on stainless steel. Tamezuki sheet formation method. Appropriate for most techniques. Heritage Washi (HW)

• white bark kozo cooked in soda ash and dried on stainless steel

• small format lends itself to working in series

• excellent for drawing, painting, calligraphy and printmaking

Made with Chinese kozo in Niigata, in a size similar to labels for high-end sake (rice wine), this sweet piece of washi with its soft deckles is a perfect paper for prints - relief or silkscreen - or small pastel or graphite drawings. Heavier than most, it is made in a method closer to western paper but with Japanese tools and typical fiber. Beautiful surface and warm natural color.
