Japanese Translucent Paper is a refined collection of washi valued for its delicate transparency, fine texture and remarkable strength. Traditionally made from natural fibres such as kozo, gampi and mitsumata, these papers allow light to pass gently through the sheet while retaining the distinctive character and durability of Japanese paper.
The collection includes papers with varying degrees of translucency, from softly transparent sheets to exceptionally fine papers with an almost sheer appearance. Natural fibres create subtle variations in texture, surface and light transmission, giving each paper its own distinctive quality.
Japanese translucent paper is suited to bookbinding, conservation, printmaking, stationery, calligraphy, collage, paper craft and decorative applications. Its ability to diffuse light also makes it particularly effective for lanterns, screens, lampshades and other projects where transparency and light are integral to the design.
