About Suminagashi: The Japanese technique of Suminagashi means “floating ink” and is the earliest form of marbling dating to the 12th century. Suminagashi is generally characterized by a series of concentric rings. The process can be quietly elegant and quite meditative. Any movement, no matter how subtle, will put its organic fingerprint on the design- including your breath or a slight breeze from an open window nearby. It is the connection between the artist, the water, and the natural forces of the surroundings that makes the allure of Suminagashi such a meditative experience. It is ideal for moments when you need infuse a bit of creative calmness into your life while creating your own pieces of artwork. Visit our Suminagashi gallery to learn more.

  • Additional Information:

    • Our maker's mark logo is stamped on the reverse side of each full and half size sheet identifying it as an authentic piece hand marbled in our studio. There may also be pencil or pen marks on the reverse side identifying which side we should marble. After being marbled, sheets are typically numbered on the back in pencil noting the paper size and style number. This information is not visible from the front of the paper. These characteristics are indicative of an authentic original piece of hand marbled paper. We feel that these add to the artisan quality of the product and the unique charm of the handmade process.
    • Due to the wet nature of the marbling process there may be traces of paint on the reverse side. This characteristic is also indicative of an authentic original piece of hand marbled paper that adds to the artisan quality and the unique charm of the handmade process.
    • We prioritize transparency and strive to provide accurate product listings and pictures. However, we cannot guarantee that colors will appear the same on all monitors, as this is beyond our control. If you have questions about pattern or color, please contact us before placing an order.
