Masa

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.

Masa paper (often referred to as affordable Hosho) is machine-made of sulphite pulp, bright white and acid-free. One side is very smooth, the other side toothy. It is economical and useful for edition proofs and for student grade projects. Internally sized and should be slightly dampened prior to printing.
