Taizan-sen Medium Hansetsu

Video of Inking a Medium-Thickness Taishan-sen Paper (Hanshi)

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

Handmade gashi paper suitable for general kanji writing.
It features moderate bleeding and a powerful black color.
Suitable for final copy and creative work, it can also be used for public exhibitions.
It is characterized by the inclusion of chalk powder (gofun) in the raw materials. This high-quality paper has a soft texture and beautiful white color. When filled with ink, the black color stands out beautifully.
The paper's softness provides a smooth writing experience.
The ink will bleed initially, but the bleed will stop after a certain point, preventing excessive spreading.
Thick ink allows for a rubbing effect, and by increasing the amount of water, you can create a smeared effect.
With a smooth brush stroke and minimal bleeding, this paper is recommended for thick ink rather than light ink.
This long-selling product has been a popular favorite since its release. Ideal for final drafts and creative work, it can also be used for public exhibitions.
Another feature is its excellent ink penetration yet minimal bleeding.
We offer three paper thicknesses (regular, medium, and heavy) and a wide range of sizes, from half-sheet to exhibition-ready.
*Gofun: Shells ground into a powder. Thick shells like oysters and clams are highly prized for their efficiency in powdering, but other shells are also widely used.
