Due to the longer fibers in this paper it offers more strength than the popular used xuan (shuen) papers giving artists the ability to handle washes, hence why OAS categorizes it as a "wet-on-wet" paper. The paper is slightly transparent. Ling-Nan artists enjoy working with this paper as it is quite versatile for all subject matters.
