SHOJI, the sliding doors covered with paper over wooden lattice, are becoming an appropriate way for westerners to divide space in a light-retaining way. They can also be used to make distinctive shutters. Following are a variety of papers we stock for this purpose. Often, the better quality rolls are also used by printmakers. |

Fine
Woodworking Japanese Paper Special
In honour of our friends from Fine
WoodWorking,
we are delighted to offer these three collections
of exquisite Japanese papers selected specifically
for use by fine woodworkers.
All 3 collections focus on traditional papers,
handmade (HM) in Japan, between 20 x 30" and
29 x 40". You may also be interested in
our shoji rolls, above.
Unlike the handmade papers mass-produced in
some Asian markets, these papers represent
the culmination of a 1400-year tradition of
Japanese papermaking that has evolved hand-in-hand
with a strong woodworking tradition. Exceptionally
durable and flexible, and as beautiful to touch
and work with as they are to see, they represent
some of the finest papers we carry.
