Kizuki Kozo Washi Paper - NATURAL

For a heavyweight, traditional Japanese style, Kizuki Kozo is the ideal paper for projects requiring a firm base or inclusion. At 43 grams per square meter, this Asian paper is handmade from 100% Thai Kozo fiber and features 4 naturally deckled edges. The kozo pulp is cooked with caustic soda to soften coarse fibers and neutralize the pH for archival projects. The mixture is then internally sized to resist moisture absorption (i.e. feathering ink and ink bleeding) and dyed with direct synthetic dye for an even natural tone.  Take advantage of this paper’s resilient nature with water-based media like Mokuhanga and watercolor painting!
