Graham,
My guess would be no, but I sent a message to Alex Prentice at McClains and
will see what she says. She should know. It will last a life time, so this
is enough for me. However I understand collectors wanting the good paper as
they are interested in their collections staying together and going to some
museum or handed down in their families. Lots of stuff (painting) done in
the 50's and 60's is falling apart now....too bad they didn't take a bit
more care, it could have been so easily avoided with a little gesso and
rabbit skin glue.

Thanks Barbara,

I know that the paper is made with wood pulp which is the first indicator that it would not 
be archival. However these days there are buffers that can be added the nullify acidity and 
give the pulp a neutral PH

Noboru Sawai is still away in Japan, making his annual supply of paper, so when he get home I will 
be chatting and we will get a definitive answer.

I like the tonal qualities of the Shin Torinoko and wanted to use it because of its hardness in some 
drypoint stuff I am working on.   Frank Janzen (Tamarind Master Print) for those that don't know him),  
is still here, we are having a ball creating masterpieces, we both wish, in the gooey greasy kids stuff. I always 
watch him closely when I refer to the inks in that way as his feet seem to rise off the floor about 2 inches...

I will keep all posted about the paper.

Graham

ps Frank says HI

Georga I think your website is wonderful.  I did have some difficulty 
enlarging some of the images in the painting section.  Ruth
