About this paper
Each sheet is formed by hand at the vat, dried on a mud-brick wall and then burnished with an agate stone until the surface takes ink without feathering. The A5 size is the one calligraphers reach for when they want to practise a single line, write a letter that will outlast them, or paint a small study. Expect gentle variation in tone and thickness from sheet to sheet: that is the mark of the hand, not a flaw.
