Small history about the paper: I used a vintage (1975) ‘hosho’ paper of about 80 g I bought from the remaining stock of Rotterdam based artist Toon Wegner (1926-2010). He imported Japanese paper in bulk for a group of artists working in various kinds of printmaking art. He bought sheets of 788 x 546 mm Hosho, numbered 8870, most probably at trade company ‘Furuta & Co’, Kobe. He bought other types of paper there as well. I seized the paper and experienced it as a paper absorbing paint very well, and responsive to details of the carving. www.nelpak.nl
