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.
Made from kozo and infused with Rain Tree leaves and natural fibres, Rain Tree paper is a distinctive mulberry paper that is ideal for various art and craft projects. Despite its lightweight and semi-translucent nature, Rain Tree paper is highly durable, making it suitable for a variety of applications such as interior decorations, lamp shade making and gift wrapping. It is an essential material for any artist or crafter looking to incorporate natural elements into their work.
