American Made Papers Comparable To Tomoe River Paper?

I know all of us like papers and journals/notebooks/planners made of Tomoe River made papers.

But, Nanami Papers has been unable to supply a ream or two of the Tomoe River paper. In fact, he has removed it from his website, and hasnt answered the 3 emails I have sent asking about availability of reams of blank TR paper.

That gets me to think that since there are still paper mills in the upper Midwest, I wonder if any of them produce paper similar to the quality of Tomoe River paper. Or papers that are similar to the HP Premier Laserjet(98 Brightness) paper. Would you please post any info if you do know of any source.

I ask because recently, I was given about 30 sheets of 8X11 sized sheets, that was wonderful with my wet writing MB and Pelikan 1000 pens. There was no bleeding and no feathering at all. My friend said that it came from a ream of paper made in northern Minnesota, that he bought from a old mom-n-pop office supply store when he went to visit his parents during the 2019 Thanksgiving holiday.

Thank you all in advance.

You can look for Onion Skin paper...vintage reams are on sale on EBay. Shipping is a cost that brings the average ream to over $50.

 

papermill store sells new reams of Onion skin paper, it’s prohibitive in cost simply due to their shipping option cost,

 

that is the only similar to Tomoe River you can get in the US that is not Tomoe River.

Hello, I have a question. I just bought a few of the Vanguard Baron Fig note books. I have not used them yet. But I mainly only write with fine or medium nibs. I will try those books out. But I want to know if anyone here has used them and what anyone thinks about them. I would appreciate other peoples input.

Thanks Chuck for that suggestion, I haven't used onion paper but if it is as good as tomoe river, I will switch.

      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
