Thin, strong, and perfect for printmaking — Kitakata is the most popular paper from Japan's Awagami Factory. Kitakata's natural texture and soft, subtly warm tone bring an unmistakably analog look to your prints.

Kitakata is made from 90% Philippine gampi fiber and 10% alpha cellulose. It is unsized, but gampi fibers' natural structure means that this paper still accepts ink without bleeding. That's all the more impressive because it is very thin (only 36 gsm).

Perfect for printing by hand, because the lightweight paper requires less pressure for a sharp impression, Kitakata is a favorite in printmaking studios around the world.

Each roll measures 38" x 390". Ground shipping to the continental U.S. is included in the price. For other addresses, additional shipping fees may apply.
