rice paper is a common term for washi--a japanese word commonly used to
describe all papers made by eastern paper making methods/basts (fibers). i
won't repeat all the details except say that from your description of its
translucent character it sounds like a handmade kozo, gampi, or mitsu
paper-- the tone can be affected by lots of factors besides the
papers--developer & clearing bath used and sizing being main other ones.
in what gallery, what city are the prints?
