Awagami Mingeishi
Description
A washi classic with centuries of history.
Mingeishi White has that timeless quality - bright, crisp, and quietly elegant. It’s a nod to centuries of Japanese papermaking tradition, but with the versatility to slot right into a modern artist’s workflow.
Lightweight yet surprisingly strong, this 48gsm sheet is made from a blend of kozo, hemp, and sulphite pulp. Its soft deckled edges and bright surface make it perfect for printmaking, book arts, and mixed media. Whether used as a final surface or as part of a layered composition, Mingeishi White offers both heritage and adaptability.
