Momigami

Handmade momigami paper

Description

A type of Japanese paper that has a wrinkled appearance. Momigami paper has been strengthened by kneading konnyaku starch into Kozo fibers making the paper stiffer and more resistant to water and insects. The hand crumpling also produces a high degree of flexibility. The soft-textured paper is used for fine art, design, crafts, window & store display, photo backdrops, etc.
