"Paper Thickness Affects the Expressive Power of Ink"

The writing feel varies slightly depending on the thickness of the paper.
The thicker the paper, the deeper the ink penetrates into the paper. This creates depth in the ink color and makes it easier to express strength.
On the other hand, because it absorbs ink well, brush movements become heavier.
A larger amount of ink is required, and at the same time, the ink tends to smudge more easily.

Thinner paper allows the ink to reach the back of the paper more easily, making it easier to create a sharp look.
Also, since it absorbs less ink than thicker paper, the brush strokes become lighter when writing.

Juu Tansen is made slightly thicker than Tansen, resulting in a deeper ink color.
