Torinoko paper is made in the Echizen district of Japan. Echizen is known for producing authentic, high-quality Japanese paper. Torinoko is a very sturdy pulp-based paper, lightly sized to allow for finer detail in ink painting, watercolor, Suminagashi (Japanese marbling), Chigiri-e (Japanese collage), and printmaking. Torinoko art paper holds up to watercolor washes with minimal wrinkling.
