Japanese rice paper has been used over the centuries largely in Japan and China for fine art such as writing and artwork. Rice paper is also popular with crafters who enjoy working with rice paper because of its distinct texture and slight translucent properties. These oriental papers are acid-free, strong, absorbent and are made using the centuries-old Japanese tradition. These papers are a high quality rice paper that comes in convenient rolls or pads and is great for calligraphy and paper craft projects!
