Kizuki Somegami is a thin, high quality, kozo paper. Developed particularly for chine-colle, it is appropriate for many other uses including drawing and collage. It is also strong enough to be used as a stand-alone paper for printmaking. This paper has a fine, even surface and crisp feel. The fibre is cooked with caustic soda and dyed with direct synthetic dyes. We will slowly increase the range of colours available. Kizuki Somegami is made exclusively for The Japanese Paper Place as a replacement for Matsuo Kozo which is no longer being made. We are very happy to be able to offer this paper as good quality colour papers become increasingly difficult to source.
Usage: Printmaking, Silkscreen, Relief Print, Wood Engraving, Mokuhanga, Chine Colle, Collage, Brush Painting, Calligraphy, Water Based, Conservation, Repair, Intaglio, Oil Based, Lithography
