Mingeishi is a classic and traditional washi favored by Japanese artists for centuries. Each sheet of Mingeishi is skillfully made with a blend of premium alpha cellulose and kozo (mulberry) fiber. Although Mingeishi's surface is fairly soft and the sheet is lightweight, this paper exhibits superior overall strength and is highly resilient. This versatile washi is suitable for mixed media artworks and all types of printmaking, especially advised for Chine-collé
