Lamp Light Paper Hime Mame Shikishi Boards Pack of 10

Order via Japan Rabbit

Ten Lamplight watercolor shikishi boards give your miniature artwork a warm, glowing stage to shine on. Sized at a compact 76 by 76 millimeters, these Hime and Mame mini boards feature warm white watercolor paper mounted on a sturdy board. The soft, radiant tone, reminiscent of lamplight, provides a welcoming backdrop for illustration, calligraphy, and watercolor painting. Each pack contains ten acid-free boards, packaged in a clear PP bag.

Made from 100 percent cotton pulp, the paper offers better texture, durability, and water retention than standard wood pulp paper. Its moderately rough surface makes it easy to achieve lovely dry-brush textures and soft edge bleeds. Because the surface strongly repels water and paint, pigments stay on top to produce vibrant colors without sinking in. High water retention gives you extra time to control smooth gradients, or to wipe away wet paint for quick corrections while the piece dries.

Traditional Japanese shikishi boards are popular surfaces for display-ready drawings, signatures, and paintings. Mini sizes like Hime and Mame shikishi are especially loved by artists who want to create small, collectible original pieces or memorable handwritten gifts; larger formats, including the standard and quarter (Sunshoan) sizes, are also available for bigger projects.
