Trial Pack 100 Sheets: Shodō Ichiban Yatsugiri

Due to the closure of a manufacturer of wire mesh, which is essential for machine-made paper production, domestic machine-made paper factories have been gradually switching from wire mesh to resin mesh since around 2019. (Shodo Ichiban will be changed at the end of 2020.)
Please note that while the change in mesh will affect the paper's texture, it will not affect the paper's quality.
Please note that any texture irregularities resulting from the difference in mesh will gradually disappear.

Machine-made paper is adjusted for smearing approximately two to three months after production, with the expectation that it will be used. The finished paper is typically left to age at the factory for several months before shipping. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, papermaking factories are currently adjusting their workdays and personnel, resulting in freshly made paper being shipped.
As a result, unlike before the pandemic, paper is more prone to smearing.
Please note that smearing will disappear after allowing the paper to age for approximately two to three months.
