Dressco White Onion Skin Paper Notebook – B6

Sale price$30.00 USD

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.

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.
