Mingeishi White is a classic and traditional washi favored by Japanese artists for centuries. Each sheet of Mingeishi White is skillfully made with a blend of premium alpha cellulose and kozo (mulberry) fiber. Although Mingeishi White's surface is fairly soft and the sheet is lightweight, this paper exhibits superior overall strength and is highly resilient. This versatile washi is suitable for mixed media artworks and all types of printmaking.
