Excellent practice rice shuen paper which we recommend to beginners due to the fact that this paper is processed and the bleed therefore very easy to control.
For the same reason this is a widely used paper for fineline and gongbi painting. This paper is a paper coming from Anui province - the cradle of all famed hand made Chinese shuen and rice papers. Even though more moderately priced, this practice paper is also hand made according to century old paper making techniques resulting in it being a great art material.
Compared to processed or semi-processed papers, this one is very light and smooth on its surface.
