Cloud Dragon Papers (Unryu Paper)

Washi with long, thin fibers that flow like clouds (known as mulberry paper)

Cloud Dragon (Unryu) paper is washi with long fiber strands that look like flowing clouds. The fibers are irregular and random, which means no two patterns are alike. The paper is so thin that you can see through it, but the fibers tangle together to create a good firmness. Tearing the paper makes the fibers pleasingly fluffy, creating a pleasant texture. It is dyed with soft natural colors from Japanese tradition. You can use this paper for various purposes, such as interior decoration (lampshades or partitions), paper crafts, wrapping and more. Our Cloud Dragon Paper (Unryu Paper) (No.) is Inshu washi paper produced in Tottori Prefecture (Japan). The washi from this area is a designated Traditional Craft and has an established reputation for its high quality.
