Plain Kozo Paper Roll - measures 11 in x 60 ft

Plain Kozo is a very strong and absorbent paper that stands up to many art techniques including monument rubbing, stenciling, dyeing, framing, bookbinding, as well as Sumi-e drawing, painting and brush calligraphy. Kozo is often chosen for collage, paper mache and marbling because it stays strong while wet. Kozo fibers are translucent and can transmit light so Kozo paper is often used for lampshades. The larger width roll is sized for traditional room screens. The paper is thin enough to let light pass and it breathes allowing ventilation even when the screen panels are shut for warmth. A roll makes a large variety of painting sizes possible; from square to the traditional long narrow composition.
