Delicate and beguiling
"The paper is stunning, and makes a sound like rustling leaves if the pages are fanned. The cover is slightly pearlized and the notebook feels and looks gentle. Looking forward to using it with various media."















Light as an onion peel and quietly textured, this notebook turns every page into a tactile moment. Dressco’s Onion Skin Notebook uses Takeo’s original “Kaito Joe Onion Skin” paper for the interior, a thin yet resilient sheet with a gentle wrinkle that adds character to handwriting. Pencil, ballpoint, and fountain pen glide with pleasing feedback, and the subtle translucency invites layering, tracing, and creative note-taking.
The cover is Stardream-FS Quartz, a pearlescent paper with a soft sparkle that recalls a night sky. Inside, the endsheets are Arabelle-FS White for a calm, velvety touch. Together, these papers showcase the richness of Japanese fine paper craft in a notebook that feels refined but never precious.
This onion skin stock was carefully revived by Takeo in recent years after domestic production once ceased, bringing back a beloved paper known for its light weight and durability. Expect some show-through due to the paper’s thinness; many fountain pen users appreciate its control and quick dry feel with finer nibs.
Notes for fountain pen users: You may see show-through because of the paper’s thinness. Many writers enjoy the crisp, cushioned feel, especially with fine or extra-fine nibs.

"I enjoy onion skin paper, so I was eager to try this sketchbook. I’m very pleased and I’m certain I’ll buy another. The shipping was very fast despite being overseas. The paper is thin but handles ink well. There is faint ghosting, but I also like that aspect of thin paper. Wonderful sketchbook! I recommend trying it!"
