Hosho Student white 17x22 95 grm
This handmade paper from Japan has been a staple in the fine art printmaking world seemingly forever.
Hosho is one of the "treasured" handmade papers being manufactured in Japan. That said, due to the ever-changing handmade papermaking craft in Japan there are several different qualities of this grade being produced and their quality with regard to fiber composition and surface texture will differ depending on the maker. We've been using the same papermaker for decades so we can ensure the quality of our hosho.
This wonderful paper, although a sulphite sheet, is still quite strong. The Hosho "student" quality has a bit more texture than the Hosho "professional" quality which is noticeably smoother with a less fibrous feel.
