Kyowa Report Pad

[elena]

Since I could not find mention of this paper, I thought I would post my 2 cents. It is an A size, 34 lines, 7 mm ruled, 210 x 297 mm, 50 sheets, and lined.

 

I have 5 different Japanese brands of paper. I've tried more, but these are the ones that work best with fountain pens. Some of these pads have only kanji so I couldn't tell you the maker. Of these 5, my favorite is a Kokuyo letter writing pad, of which I've only seen in Japan. But, the Campus Report Pads are excellent and the Kyowa Report Pad is identical in every way.

 

So if you come across this brand, do not hesitate to try it. This Kyowa Report Pad cost $1.49 each.

I'm a big fan of the Kokuyo Campus notebook paper, too. Where did you find the Kyowa Report Pad? Any leads on where to find them on the mainland?

I believe this is what I use. I buy mine from Japantown in San Francisco for $0.99, A4 size, 50 sheets, 6 mm ruled. It has a blue cover and is labeled with a "B" (the one labeled with an "A" has lower-quality paper, I've noticed, definitely more porous).

 

I can't read any of the characters, but I think it's what you're talking about?

Could you post a picture of the cover? I'm going to Kinokuniya and other stores in SF Japantown next week, and would like to keep an eye out for it.

Elena, if you are still watching this thread, THANKS FOR THE PAD! I love it unequivocally ! I like the way it feels even better than the Clairefontaine. Only difference is you can't write on both sides. But then it is thinner. No matter, even needing twice as many pads that's still a savings of $5/Clairefontaine!!! I bow to the Paper Queen!
