Well, I'm back in Japan after leaving it four years ago (but before I got into B&W printing). The Tokyo Yodobashi 'annex' store of mostly film and darkroom stuff (next door to the really big Yodobashi flagship store) was a great experience, although for some reason film is sold in yet another building. Noticed that Sensia is now Sensia III (was it II for a while? It's been some time since I used it).
Anyway, I noticed that it had a lot of Fuji B&W enlarging paper called FUJIBRO WP (AM, FM, and KM versions). Graded. Both fiber and rc. I plan on buying a few boxes (whatever my carry-on can handle) before I leave Japan in a couple of months to try back home, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything more about it. Is it an older brand that's been around for a while, or is this something new? I've tried doing a search but not much comes up except for flickr images. If it's on the Fuji website I can't find it. I'm a bit limited in my searching because I'm paying for all of my internet usage at the moment.
Basically I'd like to learn a little more about this paper so that I can make more informed choices when I go to buy it. I'd like to buy a little of everything (including the rembrandt paper) but I will definitely be limited by size and weight when I leave so will have to make some hard choices.
