{"product_id":"aitoh-shikishi-boards","title":"Shikishi Boards","description":"\u003cp\u003eJapanese craftsmen laminate fine handmade papers, either White Hosho or Gasen, onto rigid board backing, then edge each panel with gold foil. These traditional shikishi boards transform ceremonial presentation format into practical studio surfaces that handle watercolor, sumi ink, printmaking, and detailed drawing without buckling or warping. The laminated construction provides stability that loose paper can't match, while the handmade paper surface maintains the absorbency and texture essential for traditional techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold foil edging isn't merely decorative; it frames your work and signals quality, making finished pieces presentation-ready without additional mounting. White Hosho delivers smooth, crisp lines for calligraphy and detailed illustration. Gasen offers more texture for expressive brushwork and watercolor washes that need tooth to grip. Both surfaces accept wet media confidently, distributing pigment evenly without feathering or bleeding through to the backing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBagged in packs of 2 or 3, these boards suit both dedicated projects and experimental work. Available in multiple sizes to match different compositional needs. The rigid backing eliminates the stretching and taping required by loose sheets, letting you work directly on a stable surface that won't shift mid-stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aitoh","offers":[{"title":"hosho \/ 8.25 in. x 7 in. \/ pack of 3","offer_id":47977694953701,"sku":"42928","price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"gasen \/ 8.25 in. x 7 in. \/ pack of 3","offer_id":47977694986469,"sku":"42932","price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"hosho \/ 9.5 in. x 10.75 in. \/ pack of 2","offer_id":47977695019237,"sku":"42933","price":4.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"hosho \/ 4.75 in. x 5.25 in. \/ pack of 3","offer_id":47977695052005,"sku":"46927","price":3.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"hosho black \/ 9.5 in. x 10.75 in. \/ pack of 2","offer_id":49449693970661,"sku":"00338","price":8.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"gasen black \/ 9.5 in. x 10.75 in. \/ pack of 2","offer_id":49449694003429,"sku":"00339","price":8.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s42928.jpg?v=1770334860","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/aitoh-shikishi-boards","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
