With skilled hands and attention to detail, artisans combine ancient methods and contemporary practices to create beautiful, versatile, and eco-friendly paper. First, the kozo plant, also known as the paper mulberry tree, is harvested and the bark is peeled off the branches. The bark is then air-dried and sorted by age and quality. Afterwards, the strips of kozo bark are washed and soaked overnight to soften the fibres before being cooked, resulting in soft yet durable fibres. If needed, the fibres can be bleached. Once cooked, the tissue is meticulously inspected and any impurities or fibre knots are carefully removed by hand. Lastly, the kozo tissues are beaten into a fine pulp, ready for creating exquisite kozo papers.
Momigami Milano paper is a stunningly beautiful marbled paper that has been individually hand marbled and hand crinkled. Each sheet is created by delicately layering kozo paper over swirling oil colours, and then meticulously marbled and hand-crumpled. The soft, fabric-like texture is both durable and flexible, making it perfect for a variety of art and crafting projects.
