The Bizan White paper is among the most exquisite image carriers of the Japanese paper manufacturer Awagami. The Japanese paper factory creates each sheet with utmost care, centuries of experience, and deep respect for nature. The fibers of the mulberry tree combined with hemp form the foundation of the unparalleled Bizan paper, which is still scooped by hand sheet by sheet today. Every step of the process demonstrates outstanding craftsmanship, from harvesting the plant fibers to chopping and cooking the raw materials to the multiple scooping into the wooden-framed screens. Even the application of the coating, which allows for brilliant color application, and the careful inspection of each sheet are in the hands of the master papermakers. A paper of soft, elastic consistency is created through the traditional technique of multiple scooping. The fibers intertwine into a dense, firm structure. The result is a paper with a remarkable weight of 300 g/m², distinguished by extraordinary stability and tear resistance. Bizan White presents itself with an intense degree of whiteness, achieved without the use of chemical bleaches.

The structure of this paper exudes a noble, nature-close appearance. When viewed against the light, the fibers reveal themselves in their full splendor, emphasizing the luxurious character of the paper. Thanks to its strength and robustness, an art print on this paper can be presented without a frame. The matte surface minimizes light reflections, so no special precautions are necessary. Additionally, the inclusion of hemp fibers endows Bizan White with impressive longevity. Recall the Gutenberg Bible, printed on hemp paper, which has survived today. Bizan paper offers museum-quality art prints for eternity.

In Japanese culture, art has a firm place in everyday life. Authentic and powerful prints of Asian artworks are awe-inspiring on this paper. 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' is one of the most iconic woodcuts in Japanese art history. This graphic masterpiece is not an isolated image but part of a series. A true feast for the eyes unfolds when prints from such a series are arranged in a gallery. Bizan White suits art prints of all eras and styles.
