Muji Notebooks

Recommended Posts

I wanted to buy some muji notebooks, hearing that the notebooks are FP friendly. The problem is that there are two types of notebooks. The recycled and plantation notebooks. Which ones are better?

 

Plantation Paper:

Recycled:

Thanks!

I have had very good success with the recycled notebooks.

I almost always use a Stub/Italic Broad Nib and have no

bleed-thru issues. They have also faired well with wet flowing

nibs.

The recycled ones I have used are the Passport size and the Pocketbook size. There are/were 2 versions of the pocketbook. More pages or less but same as best I could tell.

 

Root around you might find others that could be useful. Doesn't seem like everything shows up on search pages.

So, because of your post post I decided to try these out. I'm completely loving them.

I bought mine here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JHHMYVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

As the review indicate, the cover is rather flimsy, but I love it. Take that into account (if you care).

 

The paper is great, and rather cheap compared to some others.

I have several of the double ring recycled notebooks from Muji in use and haven't experienced a single problem or bleed-through. I love their sketchbooks!

Have used these for a while and I like them because they take the ink well and because they are thin and I use them (sometime several of them) for project note, comments etc.

I got these from Amazon and glued prettier paper onto the cover.

Then the cover buckled.

They're very flimsy and should be used on a desk or another hard surface.

I have enough bleed-through that I can't write on both sides of the paper.

Not sure I'd get more.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
