(Shodo Ichiban will be changed at the end of 2020.) Please note that while the change in mesh size will affect the paper's texture, it will not affect the paper's quality. Please note that any irregularities in texture caused by differences in mesh size will gradually disappear. *About Paper Smearing* Machine-made paper is adjusted for smearing approximately 2-3 months after production, with the expectation that the paper will be used. The finished paper is typically left to rest at the factory for several months before shipping. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, papermaking factories are currently adjusting their operating days and personnel, resulting in freshly made paper being shipped. As a result, unlike before the COVID-19 pandemic, paper is more likely to smear. Please note that smearing will disappear after allowing the paper to rest for approximately 2-3 months.
