Enjoy a 25% discount off Hosho Hik paper packs during the M.E.S June paper Sale

Hosho are among the most widely used Japanese papers, characterised by a pure white colour, a glazed smooth upper surface, and a rougher underside. Completely unsized, Hosho papers allow ink to bleed in calligraphy and sumi painting, creating soft and expressive lines with jagged edges.

In printmaking Hosho papers offer a perfect texture for block/relief printing the smooth surface producing sharp and clean prints, achievable with hand-printing processes, such as using a baren, without the need for a press. This lightweight paper is also recommended for  drawings and lithography.

It can be suited to other printmaking processes and mixed media, however we recommend testing it first.

During the M.E.S paper Sale Hosho Hik paper is available in packs of 25.
