Hiten Thick Hansetsu

Video of Inking Hiten Thick Half-Sheet Paper

*The ink used in this video is Rin Ink (standard ink), and the brush used is a Shuhitsudo Kochiku brush.

Handmade gashi paper suitable for general Chinese characters. This Taiwanese-style gashi paper is characterized by the inclusion of chalk powder (gofun) in its raw materials.
Gofun gives the paper a powdery surface, providing excellent brush grip and resistance.
In particular, the ink color "makes the black stand out more," resulting in beautiful shading and blurring, making it ideal for creating artwork.
A wide range of sizes are available, from half-sheet size to sizes suitable for public exhibitions.
*Gofun: Shells ground into a powder. Thick shells such as oysters and clams are highly prized because they are easy to grind into powder, but other shells are also widely used.
