“轻似蝉翼白如雪,抖似细绸不闻声”
“Light as onion skin white as snow, flutters like fine silk without a sound”  – ode to the fineness of Xuan paper

Xuan Paper, is one of the treasures of China, a Unesco recognised 2,000 year old tradition, made by hand in a 200 step process using sustainable local ingredients, especially a local tree bark. Most of the ancient Chinese painting and calligraphic art which survives today is thanks to the durability of this Xuan paper. See Xuan Paper Buyer’s Guide.
