As I've written before, I am totally besotted with this paper. :wub: I'm in the middle of my first book, have two more still in their wrapping paper and because I'm a hoarder ;) will no doubt be ordering more soon. I say use these for "morning pages" noon pages and night pages. This paper is wonderful. A big thanks to Jay for great service too. :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01:

Mine arrived tonight! I've used the thank you note for practice before diving into the journal. I feel like this sort of notebook needs to have a dedication ceremony...

Hey Jay, First the journals are great. I just got mine, thank you. An item I found humorous was that even though you ship from CT, and I live in Stamford, my books went through Mass and NJ to get to me. Very odd I would say.

 

For anyone who wants to try a bound Tomoe River Paper book, I would suggest going to Jay. They are very good good hard covers in what appears to be a very sturdy Binding to me from a user point of view. The price is very reasonable for a hard bound. While it is a little more then most fountain pen friendly notebooks. Please be aware you are paying for binding of Tomoe River Paper and ordering from a Japanese source for bound paper of this quality will easily cost you $80+. I have been looking for a long while now since hearing of this paper

 

 

I'm offering blank books with Tomoe River paper at

PaperForFountainPens.com

 

This paper has inspired me to write more than I ever did before, and I've had to create the product line that I wanted for my own use. Now I'm sharing the results with you.

 

Happy writing!

 

—Jay

Don't know how I missed this thread until now..... :rolleyes:

 

But glad I found it now.....

 

Have read through all the positive comments and definitely interested in trying this paper...

 

Bit surprised that in reading through 5 pages of posts, not one person (unless I missed it somehow...) mentioned a version with lined paper....am I the only one that likes having lined (preferably, narrow ruled...great for taking notes during the workday....) pages?

 

Is it possible to get a lined page journal?

 

Thanks!

Yes, you can get 7mm lined journals from Nanami Paper here http://www.nanamipaper.com/products/seven-seas-tomoe-river-a5-journal-7mm-lines.html

 

I ordered one recently and it's great. I ordered the plastic cover (see accessories) to go with it as this isn't a hardcover journal. It is very well made though.

 

I'm not sure these are really suitable for work notes. They're too special for that! :-)

 

I'm in UK and my order arrived in 4 days. Being in CONUS you will have the benefit of much cheaper shipping of course.

About the photos I would say not so minimalist and not so cluttered - try to balance between the two.

Mine (two books, cream) arrived yesterday, and I can't express how pleased I am with them. Everything I've written with in them has felt positively dreamy: smooth and expressive; and I love the way the paper takes ink. The books themselves are beautifully crafted. Thank you so much, Jay; I'm afraid you've created another addict.

I'm looking forward to trying out this magical paper as well however I find that I always end up reaching for my lined notebooks before my blank ones. It's a comfort thing.

 

I write very small and almost exclusively use EF nibs but for some reason the idea of 5 mm lines scare me. I'm used to the 7 mm line spacing in the Rhodia webnotebooks. I'd get too claustrophobic with all my writing crushed together. The words need to breathe.

I write mostly with IB and OBB nibs and while 5 mm lines don't scare me they do make the pens uncomfortable.

I like my sentences to choke each other. The strongest survive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm kidding.

 

I prefer 5mm, but WHATEVER, nay-sayers.

I can make my IB & OBB fit anywhere (years of practice).

 

I can as well but I figure - when the thoughts are flowing the ink should too.

This looks awesome! I've yet to try Tomoe, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. I sincerely doubt that all those reviews could be wrong, yeah?

 

I'm not all that fond of tinier, compact notebooks, though. Any chance you could try making a 320-page journal in A3 size? Yikes, I'm wondering how much that would cost. Oh, and how's your experience with international shipping been?

 

 

Cheers!

      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
