Semi-Processed (Semi-Sized) Triple Xuan Paper for Calligraphy & Sumi-e
Paper material: Shuen Paper
Perfect for landscape painting, the Tribute to the Emperor is a semi-processed paper that is extremely thick and not very absorbent.
When a paper is semi-processed, like this one is, it goes through one additional step than unprocessed paper and has a chemical substance, alum (Ming Fan), spread across its surface. Alum blocks the water absorbency of the paper, and the final absorbency of the paper depends on how much alum is applied. If a very large amount of alum is applied, the paper may be considered processed. You can read more about the differences in processed and semi-processed paper in the Asian Brushpainter Knowledge Base.
In addition to landscapes, the Tribution to the Emperor is also great for fineline painting and calligraphy. Though the paper is listed as three-ply, it is actually two sheets thick, though it is still much thicker than normal two-sheet Xuan paper (hence the three-ply label.) This, combined with the lack of absorbency, makes the paper extremely durable and perfect for landscapes. It will also work well for Encaustics due to its extreme durability.
