Bank Paper Planner Refill, Mini 6 Size

Sale price$8.00 USD

This Mini 6 planner refill is made with the legendary Bank Paper, a bank ledger paper originally developed by Mitsubishi Paper Mills in 1960 for handwritten ledgers. Designed so clerks could write fine lines of numbers all day, this bank ledger paper offers a smooth surface, excellent ink handling, and a writing feel that fountain pen users around the world have come to love.

At around 87.9 gsm, the sheets feel surprisingly substantial for such a smooth writing paper. Ink glides across the page with minimal feathering, keeping lines crisp and colors rich. Shading and sheen show beautifully, yet the paper remains practical for everyday planning, journaling, and long-form writing. Both sides of each sheet can be used comfortably, which makes the compact Mini 6 format even more efficient.

Because this Bank Paper has now been discontinued, every refill is a rare piece of Japan’s paper heritage. The blank pages give you full freedom to design your own layouts for task lists, daily logs, sketches, or ink swatches, and the Mini 6 size fits standard ring planners. If you love Japanese stationery and want to experience classic Japanese paper stationery originally made as bank ledger paper, this refill brings that history into your everyday planner.

TAKEO: More Than Just Paper

Founded in 1899 as a small paper shop in Kyobashi, Tokyo, TAKEO later moved to Kanda and has spent more than a century refining the expressive power of paper in a neighborhood of editors and printers. TAKEO sees paper not as a mere material but as an experience that begins the moment it is held. The warmth against the hand, the way light passes through a sheet, the sound when a page turns — the company has quietly explored why paper stays in our memory.

This approach comes to life at the Mihoncho Main Store (Paper Sample Gallery) in Kanda, Nishikicho. Visitors can pick up sheets, hold them to the light, stack and flip them, and check every nuance before they buy. You can feel the shades of white, the shadows of embossing, and the character of ink on a surface. Rather than simply selling paper as a tool, TAKEO creates a place where you can feel it first and choose with confidence. That commitment sits at the company’s core.

Its technical foundation is equally solid. TAKEO understands paper-making design, surface finishing, the reproducibility of color and texture, and the expressions that printing, processing, and binding can bring, then links these insights to the work of designers and production teams. This is why the company has supported choices where paper leads the story, from a single business card to book covers, packaging, and everyday stationery. For people who love paper, TAKEO is a trusted guide that helps you begin not with what to use, but with how it should feel and what it should communicate.
