Usu Kuchi Light Machine Made
An excellent quality machine-made paper, Usu Kuchi Light is great for dyeing, printmaking or chine colle. Usu Kuchi is absorbent, and durable. It takes colour well and becomes remarkably cloth-like when treated with konnyaku. Usu Kuchi is also a great choice for drawing with graphite, soft pastel, and water-based media. Very absorbent, highly translucent – lovely in layers. Also available in Extra Heavy (65g).
Usu Kuchi differs from Kozuke in that it is made of pure kozo and is unsized. It takes colour beautifully and is receptive to most drawing and printmaking methods. Because it is unsized, it’s an excellent choice for projects that require great saturation, like dyeing.
