5 FAQ
Q: Does the red flower pattern fade over time?
A: No, the red fibers are natural plant materials embedded during the handmade process, not dyed or printed. They are archival and lightfast, ensuring your artwork remains vibrant for years.
Q: How should I store these sheets to prevent damage?
A: Store them flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in the provided hard board sleeve or place a heavy book on top to prevent curling due to humidity changes.
Q: What is the difference between this and raw Xuan paper?
A: This is 'Shu Xuan' (sized paper), treated with alum to reduce absorbency. Raw Xuan absorbs ink instantly and spreads widely. This paper allows for controlled brushstrokes, making it ideal for detailed work.
Q: Can I use liquid ink sticks or only bottled ink?
A: You can use both. We recommend grinding an ink stick for the richest black tones, but high-quality bottled sumi ink works perfectly fine on this alum-treated surface.
Q: Is this paper suitable for calligraphy or just painting?
A: While primarily designed for Gongbi and boneless painting due to its sizing, it can be used for structured calligraphy styles like Kaishu. However, it is not recommended for cursive scripts that require heavy ink absorption.
