Japanese Printmaking Papers

In addition to our selection of printmaking papers from Arches, Rising Stonehenge, Somerset, and B.F.K Rives, we are happy to add this assortment of specialty printmaking papers from Japan. The term 'rice paper' is often a misnomer as rice rarely plays a part in the manufacture of papers in Asia. Quite often, unryu papers are often confused with what people believe to be “rice papers”. The term unryu (meaning “cloud dragon paper” in Japanese), is characteristic of paper containing strands of fibre that are added to the sheet to create contrast and texture.
