Awagami Japanese Lacquer Paper brown leather 21.7"x31.5" sheet
Japanese lacquer (urushi) has long been prized for its soft surface, bright gloss and rich colors. From ancient times to present day, it has been used to coat both sacred and commonplace items: from temple and shrine interiors, to lamps and eating utensils. Awagami has developed this line of beautiful embossed paper to emulate the look and feel of Japanese lacquer. The patterns are highlighted in graphic relief. Machine-made of 100% wood pulp, Lacquer paper is ideal for scrapbooking, collage, box making, card making, book arts and decorative use. These sheets measure 21.7x31.5 inches and weigh 60gsm.
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
