Tomoe River Paper

Many would agree that there are few papers than can even come close to competing with the quality of Tomoe River Paper when it comes to fountain pen-friendly paper. This high quality 52 gsm paper is incredibly thin and shows off the natural sheen and shimmer in fountain pen inks.

Our Tomoe River paper is the same Tomoe River paper that's used in the Hobonichi Techo notebooks.

Fountain pen enthusiasts who favor shading ink (that is, those that create subtle color gradations as ink is laid on the paper), will appreciate how the paper shows off these subtle color variations. Sheening inks also perform well as pools of color will sit on the surface of the paper and when they fully dry, will create the reflective look so many fountain pen users love. It’s important to be patient and let the paper fully dry to prevent smudging, especially when using sheening or metallic inks. Click here to read our blog post about .
