Awagami’s most famous paper, Kitakata is composed mostly of Philippine gampi fiber and exudes a warm natural tone. Do not be fooled by imitations – this is the one and original Awagami Kitakata. Kitakata’s resilience makes it a worldwide favourite paper for printmaking, drawing, mixed-media, book-arts and alternative photography. Although listed as “unsized”, Kitakata’s gampi fibers exhibit natural sizing-like characteristics thus requiring no additional sizing.
