MasterChinese DIY Chinese New Year Calligraphy Rice Red Paper Fu Dou Fang Square 13x13 (33x33cm) - 20 Sheets

These papers are beautiful! So beautiful, we decided not to use them for this year's Chinese New Year's calligraphy practice, and used cheaper red rice papers instead. We will save them for display use next year, once we are more confident in our calligraphy skills.

Used this in an elementary school class Chinese New Year party to make chun lian (spring couplets). The paper is a good strength (thicker than tissue paper) and the calligraphy ink we used didn't leak through.

The paper handled ink well. seemed it that was good quality sized Xuan. the alignment of pattern was perfect. But odor was a very strong solvent type smell. Can not recommend this because of odor. Have fans running on it after doing New Years brushwork. Hope smell dissapates.

I don't know what kind of paper it is but it seems like sized Xuan paper. The color is a deep bright red, as expected. The gold shows through when you write on it, and the circular patterns help you align characters. Most importantly, though, I'm glad this is available here on Amazon and Prime eligible. I had such a hard time finding red paper like this.UPDATE 2018/1/11:I ordered some more. Of three packages, two of them had very misaligned gold printing. The third was also misaligned, but was at least presentable. I've attached a photo.

Big and thick enough. Comfortable to write. but I should order the smaller size. Anyway,recommend!

These are very good quality and great for traditional Chinese calligraphy. We used them for Chinese New Year decorations.

Really like it

We bought several different types of couplet paper for Chinese New Year, these were the most difficult to write on. Calligraphy ink does not adhere well on it.
