Tomoe River Paper

The 52gsm paper is incredibly thin, and very fountain pen friendly. This paper shows off the sheen and shimmer in inks unlike any other paper can do.

Our Tomoe River paper is the same Tomoe River paper that's used in the Hobonichi Techo. We use the same 52 gsm paper as the Hobonichi.

Fountain pen enthusiasts who favor shading ink, those that create subtle color gradations as ink is laid on the paper, will appreciate how the paper shows off subtle color variations. Sheening inks also perform well as pools of color will sit on the surface of the paper and when dry will create the reflective look so many fountain pen users love. It’s important to be patient and let the paper fully dry to prevent smudging, especially when using sheening or metallic inks. Click here to read our blog post about Tomoe River Paper

Tomoe River paper….and a great cover color!

IMm a huge fan of the 52gsm Tomoe River paper, it dries fast and can hold its own with fountain, rollerball, or ballpoint pens (and inks). I also really like the color of the cover, it is a nice shade of blue-green that goes really nicely with my honey ochre zip folio. I like this size because I find the pocket isn’t always enough if I want to write more extensive lists or travel plan (and dream up travel plans). {The pocket is great because it fits in your hand, which I need for bird nest monitoring (hence it’s being called the field notes size, right?).} But I like having room to fit another notebook in the zip folio as well.

Great notebooks

What is there to say…it’s Tomoe River paper therefore it’s great. I got the B6 and I love the size which is hard to find. Fits well in the B6 size leather zip folio. They are well made and with a stitched spine and seem to be holding up well so far. I use one for miscellaneous notes and things and one I use as an ink swatch notebook.

Great Notebooks

These are great notebooks, whether you're comparing inks or taking notes for work related projects, etc. I especially love the presentation they came in, and I was not ready for that. I just thought it was little notebooks! But everything Galen does just blows me out of the water.
