Inshu Handmade Paper "Tsukasasen" Half-cut
Japanese paper “Tsukasasen” that pursues calligraphy
Inshu handmade Japanese paper craftsman Yuji Okamura
The main raw materials are wood pulp, straw, and mitsumata.
Homemade raw straw is used to strengthen the brushstrokes and improve the color of the ink.
By adding mitsumata, the paper becomes glossy.
There is little bleeding and there is just the right amount of brush resistance, so the ink sinks in well.
Therefore, it is very suitable for calligraphy.
