Exceptional quality for traditional calligraphy
The ink spread on this raw Xuan paper is perfect for my cursive script practice. The texture feels authentic and the size is generous for large characters.

Beautiful red paper for festivals
I bought the Big Red variety for Spring Festival couplets. The color is vibrant and the paper holds the black ink beautifully without bleeding too much.

Perfect for students and masters alike
I use this for my advanced calligraphy class. The double-sided feature is great for practicing both sides or mounting works later. Highly recommended.

Good value for money
The quality is consistent across the bundle. The black paper provides a striking contrast for white ink or gold paint. Delivery was fast and packaging protected the sheets well.

Authentic Anhui craftsmanship
You can tell this is handmade by the slight variations in the texture. It behaves exactly like high-end Xuan paper should, absorbing ink naturally.

Great for paper cutting projects
The thickness is just right for intricate paper cutting. It doesn't tear easily when handling sharp tools. Only wish there were more black sheets in the bundle.
Q: Are the dimensions exact for framing standard sizes?
A: As a handmade product, dimensions may vary slightly (+/- 1-2 cm). We recommend measuring your specific sheet before purchasing custom frames.
Q: Is this paper suitable for beginners learning calligraphy?
A: Yes, Raw Xuan paper is excellent for beginners to understand ink control, though it requires some practice due to its high absorbency.
Q: What is the difference between the red/black paper and the white version?
A: The material and texture are identical; only the dye color differs. The colored versions are often used for specific festive decorations or artistic contrast effects.
Q: How should I store these sheets to prevent damage?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them flat or rolled loosely in a tube to avoid creases. Avoid humid environments to prevent mold.
Q: Can I use watercolor paints on this paper?
A: While primarily designed for ink, light watercolor washes work well. However, heavy wet-on-wet techniques may cause the paper to warp or tear due to its raw nature.
