Handcrafted in Jing County, Anhui Province, China, our Unsized Double Xuan rice paper is traditionally made from rice straw and wild vine bark fibers. Each sheet is created by pressing two layers of thin Xuan rice paper into one, resulting in a fine-textured, cotton-white surface.

This versatile paper is ideal for painting vibrant flowers, birds, animals, and landscapes. Its superior absorbency and minimal smearing allow for greater depth and precision in brushstrokes, making it a favorite among artists with a watercolor background.

Perfect for both beginners and experienced artists in Chinese brush painting or sumi-e, the Double Xuan paper is forgiving with moisture and delivers vivid colors and varied sumi ink tones, especially on its smooth side. Both sides can be painted on, offering flexibility for creative expression.

Whether used for painting or as a high-quality backing material for mounting and stretching, this Unsized Double Xuan rice paper is a must-have for traditional art enthusiasts.
