I will be receiving samples of "Japanese" papers in the next few 
days. These will be the real thing in so far as they are hand made in 
China, different textures and  sized to various degrees for use with 
Sumi carbon inks. One of the samples will be a machine made Japanese 
paper. All available in rolls or sheets. I imagine using these papers 
in an ink jet will be like printing on fabric.

For a very detailed description of them go to:

sells acid free Chinese rice paper which is actually made from bamboo 
pulp not rice.

Sell one Japanese and one Chinese paper, might be worth contacting 
them for advice as they are direct importers and must know what is 
availible.
