Japanese Calligraphy Paper 80 Sheets; Made in Japan

This thin rice paper clearly says FOR PRACTICING on it - this is not meant for final display artwork for high-end galleries. And that's all right! We all need to practice and test things out and most of us don't have the money to do that on expensive paper. This thin paper lets us practice our techniques, try out new styles, all on a paper which is reasonably responsive without breaking the bank.Perfect for all those practice sessions when you get a new brush or ink or so on and want to see how it does.If someone's going to complain that the paper isn't high-end museum quality paper, they didn't read the description very well.If there's any caveat here, it's that I ordered the paper with some batteries and Amazon just dumped the batteries into a box loose with the paper. So my paper came dented. Since it's practice paper I didn't care much, but still, be aware Amazon can do that to you. You might want to make sure you order JUST the paper and then wait a day or two to order anything else you want to get from them.

I honestly had low expectations for this paper based on the reviews. Turns out, best deal ever, and I'm buying more. I simply used tape to adhere a sheet of the paper to cardstock, trimmed the edge (it's a bit larger than 8.5 x 11), and it printed beautifully through my HP inkjet printer. Plus, it has a nice texture - I haven't tried printing on the shiny side, as I prefer the matte look. Oh, and it shipped to me without any of the folds shown in previous previews. Give it a try #notanad :)

Definitely worth the money. The price is very good compare to other brands I have tried. The quality of the paper is nice too. It’s great for practicing calligraphy.

I bought these to write and burn letters to my recently deceased family member. One side was smoother and glossier than the other, but both sides took ink very well. They did not shred or rip as I was writing with various types of pens and inks, however gel ink needs longer to dry. These burn well since the sheets are so thin, but only if I don't fold or roll them up. The flames can't get through so many layers of the paper and the bends are especially difficult to burn with one lighting.

I need to practice a lot. So the paper affordable com into handy. Close enough US letter/A4 easy to carry in a laptop bag or daily use back bag.

I purchased these for using with inks and suminagashi (paper marbling in water - specifically this kit MARBLING (JAPANESE SUMINAGASHI) by Aitoh Co) and this paper is PERFECT. It is a delicate paper, meaning you don't want to soak it in the marbling tub and then mix it around, but if you are doing dipping it will take submersion and dries flat.It's also good for *light* water-based media. Perfect for calligraphy, sumi-e, and very light watercolor. I wouldn't scrub my brush on the paper or submit it to layers of mixed media.This is a great, lightweight paper. Highly recommended.

Picked this rice paper up for practicing calligraphy, seemed like a nice value until I used it. First let me mention that when it arrived the package was folded in half and the sides torn, thankfully no hard creases were left behind. One side of the paper is very smootj and the other textured. The main issue I had was my ink bled through the paper onto my desk, was not expecting that or the fuzzy letters due to bleeding ink.I will contine to use it for practice ir maybe tracing paper but certainly not for pieces I intend to share.

I am very pleased with the paper for my foray into Kanji! I am looking forward to more practice!
