Nepal - Lokta paper Paper has been made in the Himalayan region for over 1200 years, originally to supply Tibetan monasteries for block printing and manuscripts. Lokta papers are made from the bast fiber of the Daphne plant and harvested without killing the plant at ground level creating a renewable source for raw material. The Lokta fiber is closely related to the Japanese mitsumata and has a similar texture. Our Loktas are made in the Japanese Nagashizuki technique producing a very smooth surface. They are suitable for calligraphic applications, relief printing, book arts, and a range of decorative projects.
