Awagami Washi – Japanese Lightweight Printmaking Paper – Kozo Natural Select – 46gsm – 43x52cm – Single Sheet

Description

Awagami Kozo Natural Select Lightweight Japanese Washi Paper

Awagami Kozo Natural Select is a lightweight Japanese washi paper, ideal for artists and printmakers looking for a strong yet delicate paper for hand printing. Made using kozo fibres, this 46gsm sheet offers the beautiful character of traditional Japanese paper while remaining easy to handle for a wide range of printmaking techniques.

The natural tone gives prints a softer, more organic finish than bright white paper, making it a lovely choice for lino printing, woodblock printing, letterpress, etching, chine-collé, drawing, collage and mixed media work. It works particularly well with black ink, earthy colours and more subtle printmaking palettes.

At 46gsm, Kozo Natural Select is still lightweight, but with a little more body than very thin washi papers. This makes it a practical option for hand printing at home or in the studio, especially when printing by hand with a Baren.
