Deluxe clamshell box housing 15 samples of handmade Japanese kozo created by the artist that have been brush dyed using fusticwood, logwood, and catechu natural dyes. Sheets have been altered with the application of various mordants to create an array of colors. Quarter sheet samples measuring 5 ¾ x 8 inches are housed in a removable tray beneath a hidden flap inside the box. This set also includes a detailed pamphlet with instructions for Japanese papermaking, mordanting, extraction, and dyeing processes.
