Video of Inking a Hiten Half-Ski Paper

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

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 paper has a powdery surface that provides a strong brush grip and resistance.
In particular, the ink color "makes black stand out more," resulting in beautiful shading and blurring, making it ideal for creating artwork.
We offer a wide range of sizes, from half-size to those 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.
