Dressco Strathmore Writing Laid Paper Writing Pad

This Japanese writing pad is crafted for people who love fountain pens and fine paper. Each B5-sized sheet is made from Strathmore Writing Laid N paper — a premium silk-white stock blended with cotton linters. The surface has a soft texture that gives fountain pens smooth yet tactile feedback, ideal for expressive handwriting and letter writing.

The subtle laid pattern absorbs ink evenly to prevent feathering and bleed-through, while a discreet watermark celebrates Strathmore’s 125-year heritage of papermaking. The 90 gsm blank sheets are accompanied by a lightly printed guide sheet, helping you keep your writing neat without interfering with your composition.

Bound in Takeo’s Sagan GA-FS white cover, this Japanese-made pad embodies the refined minimalism of modern stationery design. Whether used for letters, journaling, or daily writing, this Japanese writing pad brings together Strathmore’s craftsmanship and Japan’s quiet appreciation for paper — a perfect choice for fountain pen enthusiasts and lovers of Japanese stationery.

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.
