A5 Tomoe River FP 52gsm Notebook - 368 Pages Dot

For fountain pen enthusiasts worldwide, Tomoe River is not just a paper; it is an absolute benchmark. Made in Japan, it is famous for a seemingly paradoxical characteristic: it is incredibly thin and lightweight (52gsm or 68gsm), yet it possesses a simply phenomenal resistance to ink.

The Revelation of Your Inks

The true magic of Tomoe River paper lies in its ability to enhance fountain pen inks like no other. Its smooth surface and special coating allow it to reveal the most subtle and sought-after properties:

• Spectacular Sheen: Sheening inks (those that produce reflections of a different color) literally explode on Tomoe River, revealing unsuspected red, gold, or green flashes.
• Magnified Shading: Shading inks (which create color gradients) express all their nuances on it, shifting from light to dark with great richness.

Despite its thinness, there is virtually no bleed-through or feathering. Only a slight ghosting on the reverse side attests to its lightness.

A New Era: The Sanzen Paper

After the original manufacturer, Tomoegawa, ceased production, the Sanzen company took up the mantle, committing to preserve the qualities that made this paper legendary. Today, Tomoe River Sanzen continues the tradition of excellence, to the delight of enthusiasts.
