Japanese Tomoe River paper is a favorite among those who love to write and are particular about the quality. It's renowned for being incredibly thin and for its velvety smooth texture that performs amazingly well with fountain pens and ink pens. Tomoe River FP papers are now produced by SANZEN, a successor to the original Tomoe River FP paper by Tomoegawa, featuring the same great qualities as the original papers produced by Tomoegawa. These "Tomoe River FP" papers are thread-bound together in this fine quality crafted hardcover 5mm dot grid notebook. Innovative “New Sub-Dot Grid” method, International Design Patented, is used to create 5 x 5 mm dotted grid. Each dot created using this New Sub-Dot Grid method is composed of a collection of invisible sub-dots. By creating these spaces in the dot, ink will absorb better with less ink repelling on paper. Light indigo blue 5mm square dot will help guide you so that your writing will always be straight with equal intervals. Securely sewn with thread, pages are bound as thin as 13mm in thickness. This elegant bullet journal has many uses, such as a diary, to practice your calligraphy, or simply to keep track of your everyday tasks. Classic black hardcover protects pages inside and its compact A5 size is convenient to carry around. Removable clear vinyl cover protects the book cover from dirt and damage. This premium, artist-grade dot graph paper used in this journal is manufactured and treated to obtain the perfect surface for fountain pens to glide smoothly, leaving you with exceptionally crisp lines. Silky smooth, fountain-pen-friendly writing paper gives you the precise ink strokes and beautiful ink shades. It is super lightweight, at 52 gsm - nearly half the thickness of copy paper. Despite its thinness, Tomoe River dot paper is resistant to bleeding through and feathering so it can handle a variety of inks and pen nibs.
