Well, since I've played a bit with "non-commercial" papers as well...

"Mulberry paper" (Kozo paper) is not always the same thing:

1)    any paper in which mulberry fibers are separatd out and 
incorporated in the pulp can be called mulberry paper

 2)    traditionally however, mulberry paper is a handmade paper that is 
made from bark of the paper mulberry tree

The latter seems to be what the images on the site are printed on..

For a modern style Japanese Mulberry Paper, try:

For something closer to what they seem to be using...

or even closer see:

Anyway, the point is: with good inksets, there are a world of amazing 
papers to play with...
