These wonderful papers are made by a young, skilled papermaker based in Oguni village in the beautiful prefecture of Niigata. They are 100% kozo, handmade using traditional methods. Shikishi refers to the small, square format: traditionally used for calligraphy and small drawings. The chiri version is a lovely tone with subtle pieces of the kozo bark. The format of this paper lends itself to small drawings, prints and working in series.
