Suminagashi 墨 流 し or “floating ink” is the process of marbling plain paper with water and ink. It originated in Japan as early as the 12th century.
Spend a day exploring this ancient art of Japanese marbling. Transform blank or printed sheets of paper and/or cloth into something beautiful. You will then have the opportunity to turn these decorated sheets into single section stitched booklets.
