Good question, Mike! I used to get most of my paper from Woodlike Matsumura. Never bought a paper I didn't like from him, but he's not taking orders from overseas anymore. A couple of years ago I started using Kitaro Washi papers, especially Kizuki Hanga and Kozoshi, but the company seems to be severely backlogged. My last order is still outstanding after more than 3 months.

I like McClain's Echizen Kozo a lot (thick, fluffy, and luminous), but it's expensive. I've been experimenting with some of the papers from Washi Arts (US Distributor for JPP) but haven't located a "favorite" yet. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has purchased from Ozu Washi if they've found a good mokuhanga paper there. https://ozuwashi.com/

All in all I'm discouraged and thinking of taking after Matt Brown and switching to western paper.

Haromi Paper might have what you need.

When the Baren mall was still open and you could get good paper I used handmade Japanese kozo but after my stock ran out I turned to Rives (not BFK) after seeing Matthew Brown’s prints. Available at Blick’s the Rives Heavy at 175gms comes in white & cream and several sheet size options. My favorite is 19x26 inches. The Rives light at 115gms is a bit light IMO but I sometimes use it for small sized prints when heavy is not available.
