6" x 4" Post card size This is a kaki-shibu stencil. Kaki-shibu is the fermented tannin juice from an unripe persimmon and is used to waterproof, insect proof, strengthen and dye paper. Three sheets of the finest Japanese Kozo paper are laminated with persimmon tannin, and then smoke cured to make these shibugami papers. When cured, the tannin forms a plastic-like waterproof membrane allowing the paper to be extremely limber when wet, but stiff when dried. Therefore you wash them with water and can use them over and over.
