Cut longer than our standard Loose Leaf Paper, each sheet offers more surface for creative work, with a natural grain that holds watercolor and ink with a warmth unique to wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKyogi has been used in Japan for over a thousand years — originally for writing, and later for wrapping food and crafting everyday objects. Its flexibility and fine texture make it well-suited for collage, mixed media, and handmade wrapping, where the grain itself becomes part of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"1000\" width=\"1500\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/0333\/2635\/files\/shiki_bun_Japanese_wooden_notebook_-_Komorebi_Stationery4.webp?v=1712454825\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eBecause it is made from 100% wood, inks may behave differently than on paper.
