Using Heizaburo's ( 1 )2013.08.29

I purchased a big sheet of paper made at Heizaburo Iwano's. It is handmade paper using kozo and hemp. 

He usually trims the edges because it's difficult to keep the good edges while artisans are doing papermaking by hand. So he rather cuts them to sell as a sheet for the smaller sizes ( hope you understand my strange English ! ). 

BUT I need to use a sheet with the edge. The size is 212 cm x 152 cm. I put a traditional Japanese umbrella beside the paper so that you can tell how big it is ....... can you tell ??
