Handmade a sheet at a time by expert papermakers, Bizan Medium White Paper from Awagami Factory is able to offer a distinct feel made even more unique by the inclusion of deckled edges. It is made from mulberry fiber (Kozo), which provides the characteristics known to Japanese Washi-style media, though this paper is more heavyweight than most with a 18.9 mil thickness and 200 gsm weight. This textured matte paper features a white coloration and forgoes the use of optical brighteners for maximum longevity. Additionally, it is pH neutral for archiving purposes.

It is available here as a 5-pack of A1, 23.4 x 33.1" sheets.
