This xuan (shuen) paper is proven to produce beautiful color and smooth delivery of strokes. It is thicker than our single-ply xuan and thinner than our Jade Plate. The color shows well for light to dark gradations and is easier to control your moisture for those starting out.
Paper can also be used as an alternative to "Zen," but note the paper is quite a bit thinner.
Double Xuan is great for other subjects such as plants, animals and low-moisture landscapes.
