I would like to introduce you who might be interested in Japan or Washi the difference between the traditional Japanese manner and western manner of papermaking.
The traditional method of Japanese papermaking, preparing Kozo bark for cooking, cleaning, beating the fiber and papermaking to drying, is different from the European way. During this short workshop we do not have time for processing plant fiber ourselves. In the simple demo, I introduce the real materials and this process.

Let's make paper from Japanese Kozo ourselves.
And because I would like you to learn the difference in quality between different kinds of washi paper, I also show several Japanese kozo papers and gampi papers which I often use for my etching and woodcut prints.
I can tell about the study about Rembrandt who might use Japanese paper and my experiences visiting several Japanese paper makers including Gampi paper maker in Japan.

During this short workshop we do not have time for processing plant fiber ourselves. In the simple demo, I introduce the real materials and this process.
The materials and tools are also different. With the Japanese tools, you can have an experience to make your own special paper simply.
(1) The traditional way of using Japanese tools with Japanese original raw fiber materials.
(2) Use of Japanese tools and also European tools, for recycling several pulp materials including some Japanese papers and also Hahnemühle etching paper.
(3) I can also show my test printing of etchings and woodcuts on several kinds of Washi. It must be very interesting to be able to feel and see differences with your own hands and eyes, and also to hear differences between papers.

It is no problem if you didn’t have anything with you, but it may be good to bring the following yourself if possible.
