Vietnamese Dó Unryu Traditional | Green | 35 x 35 cm
Originating from the craft villages of northern Vietnam, Dó paper is a living material steeped in history. Handmade from the pulp of the Dó tree bark, it is traditionally used for Đông Hồ folk paintings and calligraphy. Its soft texture, lightness, and strength make it a highly sought-after medium today by the expert folders of the Vietnam Origami Group for creating spectacular models.
The version offered here is the thinnest Dó Unryu available, with an exceptional weight of 18 gsm. Extremely light yet strong, it is perfectly suited for complex folds requiring many layers.
A unique paper:- Long fibers resistant to folding
- Ultra-thin 18 gsm weight for complex models
- Supple and soft texture
- Used by expert folders from the Vietnam Origami Group
Its flexibility allows it to absorb thickness without creating bulk. For the most technical models, it can be useful to reinforce the paper occasionally with methylcellulose, or to apply a thin layer over the entire surface before folding to increase crease retention and edge precision.
