Shikishi is a fancy Japanese paper for writing calligraphy and painting.
It is pure white and boarded by thin gold paper. This paper quality is excellent for brush work. You can decorate shikishi with a shikishi hanger (sold separately) on the wall.

“Washi” (Japanese paper) is made of grass. It is very strong, beautiful and has a soft touch.
“Washi” itself is already a beautiful art, therefore it gives a delicate Japanese atmosphere to my calligraphy.
There is no backing on Japanese paper, so some wrinkles may appear due the ink absorption. Gluing the paper to a harder paper will flatten all wrinkles.
Sorry for the poor quality of the picture, but it is quite difficult (for me at least) to take a nice picture of such an item.
The scroll background paper is made of flowered silk paper.
2 colors are available:
DARK GREEN
Actual shade is darker
IVORY (near white)
The color is even on an actual scroll. The grey is due to the difficulty to scan white silk.
