Detailed Description
Awagami Kitakata is primarily composed of gampi fibres and has a subtle gloss yet surprisingly soft surface. This paper is warm in tone giving it a natural earthy look. Even though this paper is light-weight, it is quite dense, making it resilient for many types of printmaking. Awagami Kitakata comes with 4 deckled edges and is made from 90% gampi and 10% alpha cellulose.
Awagami Editioning Papers are crafted at the Awagami Mill wit the artistry and knowledge of 300 years of washi paper making. The papers are made using traditional Japanese fibers such as kozo and gampi as well as other non-tree fibres such as bamboo and cotton. Fibres are often skilfully combined yielding washi with highly unique textures and expressive characteristics. All washi in this collection features 4 feathery deckled edges that add a subtle refinement to finished works.
The Awagami Editioning Papers are acid free, archival and made with strict attention to quality and preservation. All the papers from this series may be used by artists for a wide range of techniques from ink to printmaking to drawing.
