Tomoe River FP 52gsm Loose Sheet by SANZEN, 8.27 x 11.7 Inches (A4-size), White, 100 Sheets/Pack (SR-A4P-W)

Tomoe River paper is renowned for its thinness while still preventing bleed-through of fountain pen inks. I purchased this to make refills for my Midori Traveler's Notebook. It is beneficial in applications like that where you want minimal thickness to obtain maximum number of pages in a given space. There is also a unique aesthetic factor this paper provides with a bit of "crinkle" to the pages. This paper is similar to what you find in many bibles, where to use regular paper would make the book extremely thick.While this is listed as a "white" paper, it is really off-white. I would say "cream" would be a better description. Also, it is important to note that while this paper does a great job of preventing bleed-through (ink soaking through to opposite side) it does not fully prevent ghosting (ink showing through as a shadow). With its thinness there is just no way to prevent being able to see the text on the opposite side of the page. The amount of ghosting that occurs will differ depending on what you write with and the thickness of the writing instrument. I would say this is the paper's biggest limiting factor. I prefer to use a very fine or fine nib pen when I use this paper, to limit the see-through.Overall, it is great paper. One last thing for anyone who wonders, this paper CAN be used in a laser printer. I print lines on the pages I make for my notebook with no trouble. There is an occasional page with a crinkle in it, but I would say this happens less than 5% of the time - pretty impressive for such a thin paper. I didn't need to use a "lead-in" sheet or anything.

This paper. My goodness! I had no idea how paper could have a cult following until I found Tomoe River.So much about fountain pens is about optimizing your writing experience for your personal tastes. And this all starts with having the right surface upon which to write. Tomoe River paper is a very worthy candidate and lays the perfect foundation for success with your writing.The paper is longer than traditional printer paper and perhaps a bit skinnier if memory serves. This isn’t necessarily a detriment or a benefit—it all depends on what it is used for and your preference as the writer. I like the unusual dimensions of it. It gives it a special sense and distinguishes it from others. You’ll never have to guess which paper is the Tomoe River.It has this ultra smooth and soft finish. Almost a bit velvety, it’s so smooth.It is thinner than traditional printer paper, yet it holds up similarly, perhaps even better than, cheap copy paper despite being thinner.I also haven’t seen it bleed or feather. Granted, I have not subjected it to harsh experimentation, but if I do, I’ll do my best to update my review.It is also neat in that it is translucent enough to place over printed guidelines for calligraphy and to see and use them just fine, yet not to a distracting degree. When you take the paper off the guidelines, you don’t realize how translucent it is! What rare sorcery is this?!!Overall, I think it is absolutely exquisite paper worthy of a Queen. If you’ve fallen prey to the fountain pen addiction or are simply into good paper and an improved writing experience, you simply MUST give this paper a try to see what all the fuss is about. I suspect you’ll be just as thrilled as I am!

First time trying Tomoe River Paper & I wish I did sooner. I love it! It shows off the beauty of various inks & the paper is very soft & smooth. It works out to 19cents per sheet which isn’t too bad when you realize that non-TRP notebooks average roughly 16 cents per sheet. I quite think that the difference is worth it for the quality of paper that you get.Will be buying more but I’m not sure what I’ll be using them all for yet 🤣EDIT: after using this notebook for a few weeks, I’m still very satisfied. I like the way inks are shown off on this paper; shading, shimmer & wetness. It’s so satisfying to see.Just beware that the paper is quite thin. Almost like those used in bibles. With that, if you have a heavy hand, you’ll get some writing impressions on the other sheets & ink MIGHT show through depending on the color & type of ink you’re using. None of these things are issues for me. It doesn’t affect legibility or use of the sheets.

This is my first Tomoe River paper pad -- I have used Rhodia pads for use with my fountain pens in the past... but wow, I really love the quality of this paper within the pad! It is so thin and smooth and has zero bleed or feathering even with very flowing ink and broader nibs. I love that these pads come with a blotter page as the first page of the tablet. The blotter feels like a washi paper and is super absorbent. It looks like tissue, but is very strong. If you are going to shell out $$ for a quality writing instrument and quality inks, you should provide those tools with quality paper-- and this Japanese made pad has it.

Scritta paper is the actual paper used in Bibles, but its very difficult to come by. This paper is probably the closest thing to it, its definitely thicker, but it took inkjet printing very well without bleed through. I created about a 20 page front to back addition to my study bible that had my notes done in a word doc but margined out for the actual bible page size. I cut to fit, then used Modge Podge glue to glue the pages together, put a coat on the spine, let it dry for a day then glued it into the map section of my study bible. I included some blank pages to add to for future use. This paper worked out better than expected. i had to change printer settings to A4, on my .doc and Hp Inkjet printer, had issues with front to back printing with upper margin spacing on one side, did some research and found the fix was to save it to a .pdf file and print it out. wasted about 8 sheets testing front to back configs before committing the whole print, glad i tested it first. Just something to be aware of with Word docs. apparently. you should let the paper dry over night before stacking, another pro tip. the ink will smudge if stacked to soon.
