  • Description: "Dating back to nearly the 8th century, Gampi is one of Asia's main fiber sources for traditional paper-making. Native to the mountainous regions of Japan and throughout the Philippines, Gampi is a naturally-growing crop that provides strong and flexible fibers for notable resiliency and durability. This plant has many unique characteristics that distinguish it from other common paper-making plants such as Mulberry and Mitsumata. The most well-known attribute of this type of washi paper is that it has a natural luster and sheen that provides a stunning surface for ink drawings and printing. Gampi paper is also considered water-resistant or "sized" as the fibers have a naturally low moisture absorption rate. This variety of Gampi paper features thick cogon grass fibers embedded throughout the sheet. Cogongrass is a weed-like plant that locals have incorporated into the paper-making process to add texture and strength. The Cogongrass Gampi Paper has natural edges with a slightly textured surface." description from Mulberry Papers https://www.mulberrypaperandmore.com/p-6600-gampi-paper-with-cogongrass-and-fibers-natural-green-120gsm.aspx Part of: Materials Collection -- University of Pennsylvania
