Mitsumata Iron Oxide Pink 29g
Made from 100% Mitsumata fibres. The Mitsumata was cooked in slaked lime. The paper is dried on boards resulting in the grain of the wood being visible in the sheet.
Mitsumata is known as the "feminine element": graceful, delicate, soft and modest.
Mitsumata takes longer to grow than kozo and is thus a more expensive paper. It is indigenous to Japan and is also grown as a crop.
Handmade in Okayama, Japan by a master papermaker, this is an exceptional handmade sheet - crisp and slightly translucent. The grey paper was originally developed to back silver leaf and the pink tone to back gold leaf.
- Naturally dyed with iron oxide pigments.
- 100% mitsumata fibres
- Unsized with deckle edges.
- Great for printmaking, chine collé and drawing.
