Awagami Editioning Kitakata Select Paper 90gsm Sheet

Primarily composed of gampi fiber, Kitakata Select is a heavier version of the original Kitakata paper. This new version has the subtle gloss, density and resilient surface that so many artists have come to love from Kitakata (just now more than twice as thick!). Although listed as “unsized”, Kitakata Select’s gampi fibers exhibit natural sizing-like characteristics thus requiring no additional sizing.
