Mingeishi

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.

Mingeishi refers to folk craft paper, or all-purpose paper. Handmade of kozo, hemp, and sulphite pulp, Mingeishi is acid-free with four deckle edges and a laid finish. Available in white, bright white, and natural. As the name implies, it is suitable for all printing, printmaking, and decorative applications.
