Bamboo Select
Crafted from 70% bamboo, this washi balances softness with strength. A go-to for printmakers, letterpress artists, and encaustic painters alike.
Bunkoshi Select
Pale, deckled, quietly gorgeous. Its smooth surface feels made for slow, intentional work: etchings, drawing, lettering, or anything you want to linger.
