Rembrant's Oilpaintings on Paper ??2013.04.18

At the National Gallery in London, I found those works of Rembrandt's were on ` Paper` in 1634, and 1635.

I've been contacting with people I met at the museums during my trip in Europe to share some information about them. They might be Japanese paper.....

It's not really easy to read documents in English and share information in English for me as a Japanese..... But most of the information about paper is exchanged in English even though it is Japanese paper which is what they call ` the most beautiful handmade paper ` and most of Japanese artisans don't speak English.

Complainings ? Maybe so !

I'm sure most of my English sound really strange : ) , because I rarely consult with dictionaries. Sorry for readers.... but thank you.
