Unryu, 55g
Washi with cloudy kozo fibers
Delicate Unryu paper is still produced today after a recipe with a long tradition. Fibers are harvested from the bast layer of the mulberry tree, which are processed into a pulp with mountain water. The pulp is boiled after which paper is made from it. The long fibers of the mulberry allow the production of an extremely thin paper, which is characterized by an exceptionally high durability and tear resistance. The structure of the natural fiber bundles is associated with dragons among the clouds in Japanese culture. Unryu can be translated as the beautiful word cloud dragon. Light as clouds is the grammage of the paper, which at 55 g/m² is a filigree image carrier. The full effect of the paper can develop with reduced motifs and a low ink application.
The light transparency of the Unryu paper allows a light-based presentation of an art print. The lightweight Unryu paper consists of a single layer of paper. Compared to a western paper, it resembles a parchment. However, the mulberry fiber paper has a much higher tensile strength and is a suitable for free hanging from the ceiling or in an open space. The image carrier is a naturally authentic substrate for works that Japanese artists have designed to be displayed as a scroll.
The Unryu paper is an image carrier for artworks that forgo a full and dense application of paint. Photographs with simple compositions supported only by the play of light. Paintings with a central motif, as preferred by botanical painters in many periods. Delicate watercolors that gain an additional liveliness from the structure. In its origin, the Unryu paper was made for Japanese artists. The paper structure harmonizes with the artistic expression aesthetics of various periods and transfers them to the present time. The characteristic structure of the surface becomes a part of the artistic effect and gives an art print an extraordinary and graceful expressiveness.
