Nesserbar Street -Tosa Hanga paper

An old street in Nessebar, Bulgaria.

Traditional Balkanic architecture.

 

Van Dyke Brown print on Japanese Tosa Hanga paper (96g/m2)

The same negative, sensitizer and exposure time as the perviouse one.

Quite difficult to work on this traditional Japanese paper. It is hand-made of 70% Kozo and it has a harsh look. It is a very absorbant paper and difficult to sensitize. While being very strong it has a very sensible and easy to scratch surface with visible fine fibers. Should be handled with care while wet.

Here it is mounted on Khadi hand-made Indian paper.

This is the first time I've tried the dry-mounting system for the traditional Sumi-e paintings with a Van Dyke Brown print. It works very well for me.

I like the colors of the print on this paper more than on other papers.
