This longer fiber makes kozo significantly more tear-resistant at the same weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fine reinforcement, tear repair, and workshop use, abaca performs well and costs a fraction. For structural repair where the piece will continue to be handled—such as a book page in use, inlays, or spine reinforcement—kozo is the appropriate fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"innv-faq\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs it the same as a kozo Japanese paper?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"innv-faq__a\"\u003eNo. This paper is 100% abaca (Manila hemp), not kozo. Be careful with this: some abaca tengujo is marketed with \"kozo\" in the name, and these are different fibers. \"Tengujo\" refers to the class of paper by weight and format, not the fiber: there is abaca tengujo and kozo tengujo.

A paper without an alkaline reserve does not add alkali to the artwork—exactly what is desired for photography, cyanotypes, and pH-sensitive substrates.
