While the paper may seem plain at first glance, the Galloping Horse actually contains a surprise that reveals itself as you write and draw on it. Gold lines are embedded in the paper, and since they are water resistant, they penetrate the ink as you put it onto the page. If your drawing is big enough, the form of a chariot attached to a galloping horse will eventually appear. The effect gives any work done on the paper a special and beautiful feel.

The paper is semi-processed, so it is very tenacious and has an intermediate level of absorbency. Because of this, it is excellent for calligraphy writing of all kinds, as well as for sumi-e painting.

Regardless of what kind of art you choose to produce on the Galloping Horse, you are guaranteed to end up with a unique and distinctive final product not available on any other paper.
