The paper looks similar to No. 10.14.01, but has much less visible fibers.
The processing of long-fiber polyester fibers in combination with wood fibers results in an extremely elastic and 5 times as tear-resistant paper as our natural papers with a similar grammage.
It is fixed with water-soluble paste (see accessories).
TafTop is a paper which is to be placed between the unbreakable and the natural paper; it combines many advantages of natural paper and modern shoji paper with PET liners.
TafTop Unryu NA2 can be retightened by fogging with water.
Paper for Shoji, not tearproof
Shoji paper is always more or less translucent. In ancient Japan Shoji were the windows in houses, glass windows did not exist at that time.
The often cloudy or fibrous structure is of course particularly beautiful before daylight or lamplight. If there is no light source (e.g. for cabinet doors), other effects are in the foreground.
In view of hundreds of different Shoji papers, the choice was not easy for us.
We like this assortment very much and it has proven itself in years of own use.
The papers differ in colour, structure, strength and surface. Looking and "feeling" helps with the selection, therefore we offer the dispatch of samples.
Japan paper without plastic reinforcement is surprisingly robust. Pointed objects or sharp cat claws can still be dangerous.
In our experience, fields that are too large have not proved themselves and should have a dimension of max. 30 x 40 cm. Not larger
Since Japanese shoji usually have sash bars with a thickness of 6-8 mm, the impression of too much wood in the surfaces is not likely to occur even with narrow sash bars spacings.
It is applied with the help of water-soluble glue and stretches very nicely.
Individual fields or the entire surface can be easily repaired or replaced.
The uncoated papers all have a front side (smooth) and a back side (rough),
the paper is glued with the smooth side (visible side) to the sash bars.
A covering instruction is sent with an order.
