Japanese Shikishi Boards

Discover a curated selection of Japanese shikishi boards, chosen for their quality, tradition, and versatility. Each board features washi paper selected with a board maker in Mino, Japan, a region celebrated for its papermaking heritage. The surfaces — including Gasen and Torinoko — are known for their stability, refined textures, and ability to support ink, gouache, oil, acrylic, and mixed media without bleeding. Part of the Shikishi Art Project by Art San Gallery, this collection invites artists to explore the expressive possibilities of the shikishi format in contemporary creation.
