A5 [Tomoe River FP] Softcover Notebook White 160 pages Plain

Sakae Technical Paper is a Japanese manufacturer engaged in the planning, manufacturing, processing, and sales of paper products primarily for the stationery market. The company provides practical paper products for stationery enthusiasts in Japan and overseas. As a distributor for Tomoegawa Paper, SAKAE uses the company’s Tomoe River paper to develop products in formats suitable for writing purposes.

This product is an A5 softcover notebook with 160 pages, using Tomoe River FP 68gsm paper produced by Sanzen Paper. Tomoe River paper is thin and lightweight, yet highly resistant to ink bleed-through and feathering, making it popular among fountain pen and ink enthusiasts. Its surface properties allow ink colors and shading to appear clearly.

While Tomoe River’s standard paper weight is 52gsm, in 2021 Tomoe River FP 68gsm was developed to provide slightly thicker paper for a firmer writing feel. Compared to 52gsm, the 68gsm paper has more body, making page-turning easier while maintaining a balance between thinness and excellent writing comfort.

With production by Sanzen Paper, the fibers are more uniform, providing improved smoothness and sizing for minimal ink bleed. The paper offers a smooth writing experience with just the right amount of resistance. The “FP” in Tomoe River FP stands for Fountain Pen, indicating the paper is designed for fountain pen use.

The softcover design is lightweight and flexible, making it easy to carry and suitable for writing with the pages folded back. The notebook uses thread-sewn binding, allowing pages to lie flat and ensuring a comfortable writing experience from start to finish. The paper color is White only, enhancing ink vibrancy and contrast.
