YAMATO | Japanese Rice Paste

$22.00

Yamato Rice Paste is a traditional Japanese, acid-free adhesive ideal for bookbinding, chine-collé, mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock printing), and general paper or wood adhesion. Smooth, neutral in colour and easy to apply, it dries clear and flexible without staining or warping delicate papers.

Why we love it at The Armarie Room:

This paste is beautifully reliable for fine, lightweight papers where a gentle, archival adhesive is essential. Mixed with a little water, it brushes out smoothly and holds even the thinnest washi papers without rippling. We especially love it for chine-collé, where precision and a clean, seamless finish matter.

Recommendations:

  • Ideal for bookbinding and paper conservation.

  • Perfect for chine-collé, mokuhanga and other printmaking techniques requiring a reversible, archival adhesive.

  • Suitable for collage and other delicate paper projects.

  • Can be thinned with water for a softer application or used straight from the pot for a stronger tack.
