Kouen: High-quality handmade paper with minimal bleeding for easy writing.

Handmade gashi paper for both standard 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 reduces bleeding and allows you to write with confidence. Because it's a relatively white paper, the ink color comes through beautifully, resulting in an excellent writing feel and appearance. We offer a wide range of sizes, from half-sized 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 Seirin (writing without looking at the original work after practicing Keirin and Irin).
