Ginwashi

The Fujimori family has owned and operated the centuries-old Awagami paper factory since the late 1700s. While they are committed to preserving the nearly 2000-year-old Japanese paper making tradition, they are also continually moving forward in the craft, honing modern techniques and practices. The result is a highly diverse range of top quality fine art papers.

Ginwashi is 39 gsm with cut edges, machine-made of manila hemp and kozo with short silver and natural fibers set in a creamy, natural background. This paper is acid-free and commonly used in printmaking, painting, and digital printing. It is also suited for fly leaves, chine collé, lampshades, collage and other decorative uses.
