Lokta Paper Journal (Insert)

This journal insert is made from Nepali Lokta paper. Lokta paper is one of the oldest Nepali traditions. This paper is hand-crafted from lokta bushes that grow on the southern slopes of Nepal's Himalayan forests. The bark from the lokta bush is dried in the sun, boiled in water and washed with cold water. Once cleaned, the bark is ground into a pulp, poured into trays to dry, pressed into sheets and cut into the pages that you will find in this journal! Even though it’s handmade, the lokta paper can last thousands of years.
