Dressco White Onion Skin Paper Writing Pad

Sale price$19.00 USD

Feather-light and quietly wrinkled, this letter pad captures the charm of onion-skin paper for handwritten notes that feel personal. The sheets are made with Takeo’s Kaito Joe Onion Skin in White, a thin yet resilient paper with a gentle, crepe-like texture that adds a crisp, controlled feel to every stroke. Pencil, ballpoint, and fine fountain pen nibs move with pleasant feedback. You will notice some show-through due to the ultra-light sheet, which many writers find inviting for layered layouts and tracing.

The cover uses Sagan GA-FS Platinum White, a softly textured stock that protects the pages while keeping the pad light in the hand. A ruled guide sheet is included, so you can write straight on the unruled pages without visual noise. Whether you are sending a thoughtful message or drafting ideas, this pad highlights the depth of Japanese paper craft in a simple, elegant format.

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.
