Awagami Kitakata Cream is a lightweight Japanese washi paper with a soft cream tone, ideal for printmakers who want a delicate yet reliable paper for hand printing. At 36gsm, it is thin, responsive and easy to handle, making it well suited to a wide range of traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques.<\/p>\n
This beautiful Awagami paper has a warm natural colour that gives prints a softer finish than bright white paper. It works especially well with black ink, muted colours, earthy tones and traditional printmaking palettes, helping to create prints with a refined, handmade feel.<\/p>\n
Kitakata Cream is suitable for lino printing, woodblock printing, letterpress, etching, chine-coll\u00e9, collage, drawing and mixed media work. Its lightweight surface is ideal for capturing fine detail from carved blocks and printing plates, while still offering the character and quality associated with Japanese washi paper.<\/p>\n
