The ripples of the water in making Suminagashi form unique designs. Each paper is a Around singular sheet in the world unlike any other given that the ripples themselves are unpre- dictable. The maker holds 3 brushes with his left hand, each with slightly different shades of sumi ink. With his right hand, he holds a brush soaked with turpentine. He first drops a drop of sumi ink in the water. Immediately, he touches the center of the droplet with the World turpentine, which instantly spreads and transforms into a delicate ring. His speedy hand- work undermines the preconceived notion that “hand made” equals a slow process. His hands are always moving to dip brushes to create layers and layers of rings, then grace- fully destructs the rings by blowing and fanning on the water’s surface to create abstract Bhutan/ Nepal/ Yucatan/ Khadi sample book available for $12.00 patterns which cannot be copied again. Light and subtle patterns and colors used to be popular since Suminagashi was originally used for writing (Classical tanka and haikus). But now, people prefer the bold, clear photograph-like patterns. Suminagashi papers have been used for printing, letterpress, drawing, light painting, book arts.

* Suminagashi papermaker, Tadao Fukuda, is currently in his 90s and due to his old age, cannot produce BHUTAN PAPER as much papers as he used to. He has also not trained anyone to take over his craft, so the production is limited, and stock will vary. Please contact us for more information. These papers are from Bhutan's Handmade paper factory Jungshin. Owner, Norbu Tenzin, Tadao Fukuda: Suminagashi was trained in Japanese papermaking techniques in Shimane Prefecture in Japan in 1986. We are pleased to be the first to represent Mr. Tenzin's paper in the US.

Even with this information, we believe that artists should explore and make the discretion of which paper to use based on the desired results and their personal aesthetics. Printing on uncoated paper may allow for more of the paper’s inherent qualities to be present in the final print, and printing on the backside or rougher side of the paper produces an even softer image quality that is appropriate for many images. Printing on a textured paper may create a pattern that works in many cases, while print- Coated ing on coated paper will allow for images with more fidelity, a plus for many artists working with photographic based works.
