Handmade Paper with Minimal Bleeding

Handmade gashi paper for both general kanji and kana. This gashi paper is easy to write on thanks to its reduced bleeding.
When copying calligraphy with a focus on the form, this paper minimizes bleeding, allowing you to write with confidence.
The relatively white paper allows the ink color to come through beautifully, resulting in an excellent writing experience and appearance.
We offer a wide range of sizes, from hanshi paper to exhibition-quality paper.
*Keirin: There are three types of rinsho: Keirin (practicing by imitating the character shape), Irin (writing while understanding the author's intentions and historical context), and Beirin (writing without looking at the original work after practicing Keirin and Irin).
