Traditional Chinese Bamboo and Hemp Xuan Paper – Thickened Edition

Made from a refined blend of bamboo and hemp fibers, this thick, semi-finished paper embodies the perfect blend of tradition and performance.

Its slightly absorbent surface allows excellent ink control: it does not bleed, but subtly soaks in, giving the brush strokes all their expressiveness.

Semi-finished (or “half-baked”) paper is ideal for calligraphers wishing to maintain both the fluidity of the line and the richness of the ink nuances.
