Unryu,
which literally means "Cloud Dragon Paper," is made by adding
long swirling fibers to a basic kozo pulp. Unryu paper is white and
translucent. The design origin 'Unryu' comes from the illustrations in
the old days that dragons flying over the clouds (heaven) that means to
bring a good fortune to persons. The thin 'Unryu' paper, the most
selected Japanese traditional quality paper gives us more soft and
transparent feeling for fashion and table decoration paper.
Unryu paper is usually imported from Japan or Thailand. Each sheet is
too thin to fold individually, so you'll need to combine two sheets.
Once the sheets are combined you'll be able to fold whatever. The
backcoated unryu works great for folding complex models and especially
with wet folding.
