Yasutomo mineral paper is a type of paper that is made from a blend of minerals instead of plant fibers- or as they say, “Made of Rocks- Not Trees!” Some of the features and benefits of this paper include:

Durability: Mineral paper is known for its fabulous durability and its resistance to tearing. It is also water-resistant, making it suitable for use in humid environments or for creating artworks that will be displayed outdoors or near water.

Surface texture: The surface of mineral paper has a unique texture that is slightly rough, which makes it ideal for use with dry media such as pencils, charcoal, and pastels. The rough surface also helps to hold onto wet media like paint, gouache, inks and more, making it easier to work with.

Archival quality: Mineral paper is acid-free and pH-neutral, which makes it resistant to yellowing and deterioration over time. This makes it a perfect choice for creating artworks that you want to preserve.

Environmental benefits: Mineral paper is made from sustainable, renewable resources and is biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly choice.

Versatility: Mineral paper is suitable for use with a wide range of media, including pencils, charcoal, pastels, watercolors, and ink. It is also suitable for use in a variety of art and craft projects, such as drawing, painting, printmaking, and more!
