Gassan washi is characterized by its effective use of locally produced paper mulberry to bring out texture of the natural fiber. The paper made by Iino was dried on boards that gave his paper a natural soft texture. The traditional size for the Gassan washi is 30.0cm×79.0cm. Even after Miura took over the production, the paper has not changed and still brings out the texture of the paper mulberry.
