Awagami Unryu (Swirling Fibers)

  • Matte, Swirling Texture

  • 55 gsm

  • Kozo (mulberry)

Awagami Unryu is one of our more sophisticated papers, featuring a distinctive heavy fibrous texture that plays well with line work and high-key images. Its unique swirling fibers also benefit minimalistic art.

While its inherent thinness and translucency create slightly lighter blacks compared to Hahnemühle Photo Rag, this adds a unique charm.


Beautifully Thin and Strong

Awagami Unryu features an elegant thinness that allows light to shine through when backlit, creating a captivating effect that enhances the overall visual experience of your prints

Made from Japanese mulberry fibers, it combines lightness with a surprisingly rigid and strong structure, matching many heavier papers.


Stretched, Striking, Ready for Display

We offer traditional mounting of prints on stretcher bars using acid-free adhesives. Let us know if you’d like your prints made ready to hang.

Prints are mounted on wooden stretcher bars using acid-free double-sided tape to prevent yellowing over time. Each print is then stretched with water, allowing it to become "drum tight" as it dries.
