Chiri is a very versatile sheet of decorative paper from Japan from a mix of kozo and sulphate fibers.

The cream-toned paper has a chain-line pattern which runs parallel to the long dimension of the sheet. The small irregular bits of bark inclusions scattered throughout give the paper a very organic & decorative look. 

The paper is slightly translucent with a cloudy and mottled formation; it is also noticeably two-sided (smooth and a slight vellum texture) which is not an unusual characteristic for a lightweight Japanese sheet.
