Amid the rising prices of Xuanshi-style painting paper, this paper offers a stable, high-quality product at a low price.
Primarily suitable for cursive and semi-cursive writing.
A wide range of sizes are available, from half-sheet to sizes suitable for public exhibitions.

Differences in Expression Depending on Thickness
Regular-thick paper allows the ink to spread easily horizontally, requiring less ink, allowing for lighter brushstrokes.
Another issue is that thicker paper is more prone to bleeding than thicker paper.
If you want to avoid bleeding, it's best to choose thicker paper.
If you want to minimize bleeding, you can try increasing the ink concentration when writing.

With thicker paper, the ink penetrates deeper into the paper, so there's less bleeding that spreads horizontally, giving the ink a sense of depth.
You need more ink, and because there's less bleeding, it's easier to create a sense of rubbing.
If you want to avoid rubbing, it's best to choose standard-weight paper.

We recommend that you try out standard-weight and heavy-weight paper to compare their respective advantages.
