Awagami Ginwashi
Available items
Description
Textured beauty with shimmering fiber highlights.
Ginwashi is instantly recognizable - its translucent body shot through with short silver and natural fibers gives it a quietly glamorous presence. Light enough to layer yet strong enough to work on directly, it’s a favorite for artists who love their paper to do some of the visual storytelling before the ink even hits it.
Made from manila hemp and kozo, Ginwashi has one textured face and one smoother side for versatility. From elegant overlays in printmaking to striking collage, book arts, luxury packaging, and lighting design, it handles creative experiments beautifully while letting its organic inclusions shine.
