Japanese Tomoe River paper is a favorite among those who love to write and are particular about quality. It's renowned for its smooth, velvety texture and excellent performance 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 bound together in this classic soft black cover 5mm dot grid notebook. This elegant journal is great for bullet-journaling, daily planning, drawing, structuring layouts, and note taking. The subtle dot grid offers flexibility for both writing and sketching without being distracting. Sewn binding allows the journal to lay perfectly flat for easy writing. Black matte finish textured cardstock cover is soft and flexible, yet sturdy and durable enough to protect the pages inside. Superb quality crafted notebook contains 160 pages (80 sheets) of fine papers. This premium, artist-grade dot grid 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 precise ink strokes and beautiful ink shades. This paper is the thicker 68 gsm version of Tomoe River paper, offering a more substantial feel while remaining lightweight. 68 gsm sheets also work perfectly well with pencils, pens and markers and give an excellent writing touch without the paper rippling. Despite its smoothness, Tomoe River dot grid paper is highly resistant to bleeding through and feathering so it can handle a variety of inks and pen nibs. Specially coated on both sides, the increased thickness of the 68 gsm paper means ghosting (show-through) is extremely minimal, making it superior for consistent double-sided writing. Silver hot-foil Tomoe River logo is embossed on the cover, the iconic proof of the genuine product manufactured and imported from Japan. White paper with 5mm dot grid in A5 paper size (8.27 in×5.85 in). Neutral pH. Made in Japan.
