Khadi Nepalese Washi Mountain Paper

These beautifully rustic handmade papers are made from the inner bark or bast fibre of Lokta or from Edgeworthia Papyrefera. Lokta is darker toned and has a harder surface, where the Mitsumata is lighter, whiter and softer.

All are native plants of the Himalayan foothills found above 3000 metres. They are sustainable and renewable resources. Plants are cropped above ground level and can be reharvested after 3-4 years. The papers are made using the Japanese nagashizuki dipping and layering method of papermaking.

Sheet size: 21" x 31"
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the handmade nature and deckle edges of these papers, sheet size can vary by an inch or more in size.

For drawing in ink, calligraphy, printmaking and bookbinding.
