I ended up coloring this. The paper was very thin that I was bit worried. But it was surprisingly strong.

They were surprisingly inexpensive.

The owner said the people who have been making this paper will quit as no young generations want to do it. So I bought one of the last packages at the store.

#handmadepaper businesses are very difficult to sustain now. It is a very difficult work that require skills and you need to work with hands and cold water etc. Young people don't want to do, and it is not profitable I imagine.

As a consumer, handmade papers in general became super expensive (esp imported to the US). I have been wondering if there is a good way to support such businesses. They don't need millions of dollar. They need a consistent support.

This is a slowly dying industry as of now.
