Khadi - Mitsumata JDK

Khadi - Mitsumata JDK

Khadi Mitsumata JDK
Made from mitsumata (edgewothia papyrefera) this Himalayan washi is made by the sophisticated Japanese dipping and layering method called nagashizuki. The pulp is stirred up in a vat of water and the mould (suketa) is dipped into the vat. The mould consists of a fine bamboo mat (su) supported on a wooden frame (keta). A coagulant derived from the vegetable, occra, is added to the vat to aid sheet formation. The sheet is couched and the su mat peeled off the wet sheet. The papers are pressed and brushed onto zinc sheets to dry. Perfect for printmaking and ink drawing techniques.
