Awagami Factory     posted on 2nd of august, 2007

I've discovered a source of Japanese paper that is now being coated for inkjet printing. The Awagami Factory is so nice they will actually send you a sample pack from their factory in Japan. The coated 70 gsm Kozo is much sharper and the blacks are immensely richer than any uncoated Kozo I've used. The website is a wealth of info, and beautifully designed as well-just what you would expect. I am such the Japanophile.

Here's a haiku of Basho's-

The village is old;

No house

Without its persimmon tree.

    About Me
Elena Ray (Elenaray)
Joshua Tree, US

I am primarily a photographer. My main subjects are people and natural objects. The themes I am currently exploring are energy and healing systems, and archetypal psychology. I work extensively with Asian and handmade papers. I paint and mix painting and collage with my photography.

I add some of my blog here at Dreamstime. The whole blog is at http:/elenaray.typepad.com.
