Mr Uekubo Ryoji is the last artisan who makes genuine "Misu gami". It is quite unique, made with "Subuse" way which is the direct pasting from the screen mat to the drying board.
The paper is used as the middle layer paper for the Japanese paint backing. It is fluffy and soft, and stable pH with Gofun (shell powder = Calcium carbonate).
Recently, a young lady joined the workshop as the successor. She is actively learning under the master.
