Tengucho

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.

Tengucho is the thinnest paper made in Japan, specifically designed for conservation and restoration of documents. It was invented during Japan’s Edo period 1603-1867 by Genta Yoshii, and was designated as a cultural asset in 1976. This paper is acid-free and machine-made of pure kozo pulp. 10 gsm with cut edges.
