    I wouldn't be surprised there is some mulberry in it.

    Hanji paper, made in Korea and reputed to be the best paper in the world, is extremely thin, yet highly sturdy and waterproof.

    I don't know that hanji would be all that good for fountain pens. In my experience it is rather fibrous but maybe I have not come into contact with the right kind. Next time I am in a hanji store I will ask about something good for fountain pens.

    There is a smoth and a textured size. Then, the possibility of using a fountain pen with it depends the quality of the paper, and on the sizing given to it. Double sized hanji is difficult to find, and highly expensive.

    Gampi papers are suitable for pen and ink, they have a natural sizing. Have a look at these, they are easier to find.

    Thank you for the tip. I don't know what "gampi" paper is though.
