Kinwashi

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.

p>Kinwashi (also known as Ogura Natural) is 30 gsm with cut edges machine-made from acid-free manila hemp and kozo with long swirling fibers set in a creamy, natural-colored paper. Heavier than Ginwashi, it is great for printing and printmaking as well as shoji screens, lampshades, collage, and book arts.
