Description

Resho and Tsasho are artists’ handmade paper made from the inner bark or bast fibre of de-nar, a Bhutanese variety of lokta. De-nar has a darker tone and harder surface than both Nepalese lokta and mitsumata. It is a native plant of the Himalayan foothills found above 3000 metres. De-nar is a sustainable and renewable resource. Plants are cropped above ground level and can be reharvested after 3-4 years.
For drawing in ink, calligraphy, printmaking.

Sheet size: 24" x 31"
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the handmade nature and the deckle edges sheet size can vary.

Tsasho is made on a laid mould of split bamboo which gives a laid pattern to the sheet. The paper is couched and dried on a mud wall. The size and colour of this paper varies often giving each sheet a ‘rustic’ appearance.
