Especially the last 3 strokes.http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/Stationery%20Paraphernalia/KOKUYO%20CAMPUS%20High%20Grade%20CYO-BO%20Paper/DSCF6289.jpg The reverse side.No bleedthruhttp://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/Stationery%20Paraphernalia/KOKUYO%20CAMPUS%20High%20Grade%20CYO-BO%20Paper/DSCF6290.jpg Slight showthru due to thinness of paper and dark inkshttp://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/Stationery%20Paraphernalia/KOKUYO%20CAMPUS%20High%20Grade%20CYO-BO%20Paper/DSCF6293.jpg Pretty costly.Paid SGD$10 for a packet of 50 sheets.I think its expensive But the paper is super smooth. And everything you expect of Japanese quality. Edited August 11, 2011 by TMLee ... 665 crafted ... one at a time ... ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpforever Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks for the review! I recently purchased a variety of Japanese notebooks. The paper is impressive. I'm offering a Sampler for those interested in trying these papers. Some packets are still available. It looks like several will become my go-to paper for notes and journaling.

KarloT Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Kokuyo is good paper. While I have not tried the CYO-BO grade, I have used the semi-B5 bound notebooks and the loose-leaf filler for B5s in Kokuyo's translucent 26-ring binders. The paper is a little thin which accounts for very mild showthrough but it is great to write with. In my area, Rhodia is not always available. When it is, the pads are reasonably priced but the notebooks are quite expensive for the number of pages they offer. Kokuyo gives us an alternative. Compared to Singpore, I think the prices in Manila are a tad better. The Semi-B5 notebooks are at US$1.50 each, and a 100-page pack of B5 loose leaf is at US$3.00.
