Oh lol I am sorry, of course I meant mm.

Not sure about acid free, but it is a typical hand made paper, mistakenly referred to as rice paper, for calligraphy and sumi-e, which is what you are doing. Indeed it has one side smooth and another soft, and has long fibers. One side feels fluffy and slightly plush or rough to the touch. Its main characteristic is that any correction made to the work, even a split second later, will be visible as an overlay. I guess that is what you are after, right?

Try to adjust website coding in view option on your browser, to Japanese. You should be able to see it. If it doesn't work, i ll send you a screen shot of it.

I have found you a pdf file with sizes, perhaps this will help.
