Handmade paper factory










Resho and Tsasho are artists’ handmade paper made from the inner bark or bast fibre of de-nar, a Bhutanese variety of lokta. De-nar has a darker tone and harder surface than both Nepalese lokta and mitsumata. It is a native plant of the Himalayan foothills found above 3000 metres. De-nar is a sustainable and renewable resource. Plants are cropped above ground level and can be reharvested after 3-4 years.

For drawing in ink, calligraphy, printmaking.




Resho is made using the traditional Himalayan floating mould method in which the pulp is poured onto the paper frame. The paper is sun dried on the frame. The size and colour of this paper varies often giving each sheet a ‘rustic’ appearance.

Tsasho is made on a laid mould of split bamboo which gives a laid pattern to the sheet. The paper is couched and dried on a mud wall.

靜。淨



靜。淨








  









後記:
讀萬卷書,行萬里路,邊走邊讀去看盡這場盛世繁華;
最終的最終,
能在那最接近天際的所在,
在那萬徑人蹤滅的乾淨處,
獲得了 靜。淨
千帆過盡。寧靜。乾淨。
如此生命,如此完美。
