Ginwashi and Kinwashi are made in Japan from Kozo and Manila Hemp fibers. Both decorative papers are lightweight yet durable with textured fiber inclusions on one side and smooth on the reverse side.  The Ginwashi paper has more fiber inclusions than the Kinwashi and is featured on the right side of the image above. Use the translucent Ginwashi and Kinwashi papers for any overlay application for a subtle look or use in other great applications such as Batik Watercolor, printmaking, lampshades and collage.
