Excellent for Running Script
I primarily practice Running Script, and this paper handles the speed and flow beautifully. The ink dries quickly, allowing for layered practice without smudging previous characters.

Good absorption control
The absorption rate is just right for a beginner like me. It shows my mistakes clearly so I can learn, but it's forgiving enough not to ruin the whole sheet with one slip.

Will buy again
Consistent quality across all 100 sheets. No tears or irregularities in the grid printing. It has become my go-to paper for copying classic texts.

Authentic feel
Reminds me of the paper my grandfather used. The retro yellow color is easy on the eyes, and the bamboo pulp gives it a unique toughness that doesn't tear easily when the brush strokes are heavy.

Great value for beginners
As someone new to Chinese calligraphy, I needed affordable paper to practice on. This pack offers great quality for the price. The semi-sized surface works well with both water and ink.

Perfect for daily practice
The texture of this bamboo paper is fantastic. It holds ink well without feathering too much, making it ideal for my morning calligraphy routine. The grid lines are faint but visible enough to guide structure.
Q: Can I use this with liquid ink sticks or only bottled ink?
A: This paper works excellently with both freshly ground ink from ink sticks and high-quality bottled calligraphy ink. Just ensure the ink concentration is appropriate for semi-sized paper.
Q: Is the packaging secure enough to prevent damage during shipping?
A: Yes, each pack is wrapped in protective plastic and shipped in a sturdy cardboard envelope to ensure the sheets arrive flat and free from creases or moisture damage.
Q: What is the GSM weight of this paper?
A: The paper has an approximate weight of 60-70 GSM, which provides a balance between thinness for layering and thickness to prevent excessive bleed-through.
Q: Does the grid pattern fade over time or with exposure to light?
A: The grid lines are printed with stable ink that does not fade under normal indoor lighting conditions. We recommend storing the paper in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Q: Is this paper suitable for sumi-e painting as well?
A: While designed primarily for calligraphy, the semi-sized nature of this bamboo paper makes it suitable for basic sumi-e exercises, though professional painters might prefer specific rice paper varieties.
