Handmade, premium calligraphy paper. "Seiga" brand. My calligrapher mother purchased this, but is now retiring, so I am selling it. It likely costs more in stores. There are no stains on the writing surface, but there are some stains on the edges. Please be aware of this before purchasing. - Product Name: Seiga - Style: Handmade Japanese paper - 1000 sheets Thank you for looking.
