HO-SHO Paper

Perhaps the largest selling group of Asian papers in Japan and Australia are the Hosho type papers, characterised by their pure white colour, glazed upper surface and rough undersurface. The papers are totally unsized, so in calligraphy and Sumi painting, lines bleed to give a jagged soft appearance. Additionally, in block relief printing, the smooth side prints sharply and cleanly with oil-based ink allowing printing without a press by means of a simple bamboo baren.
