Paper Tasting Writing Pad Set – Pen Friendly Onionskin vol.3

The Paper Tasting Writing Pad Set – Pen Friendly Onionskin vol.3 gathers three ultra-thin yet surprisingly durable Japanese papers, chosen for their smoothness and their compatibility with a wide range of pens. Whether you write with fountain pens, ballpoints, gel pens, or pencils, these sheets give a clean, enjoyable writing experience without excessive bleed-through. Each pad holds 25 sheets, and the set includes a short insert card sharing a piece of paper knowledge, such as what paper grain is or where standard paper sizes come from.

Typewriter Paper (B7) – Originally Mitsubishi Typewriter Paper, made thin yet tough enough to take the hard strike of typewriter keys and still print crisp letters even when five or more sheets were stacked. That same lightweight, crisp character gives it a nostalgic writing feel today.

Champion Copy (A6) – Originally Mitsubishi Champion Copy, a master paper for the diazo copying process that balances high translucency with a surface sturdy enough to work with. It also takes offset and letterpress printing, and that versatility makes it a pleasure for everyday notes and for experimenting with different inks.

MVP Onion Skin (B6) – Onion skin is named for its ultra-thin, translucent quality, like an onion's skin. Smoothly finished by a dry-hole process, MVP Onion Skin resists feathering and prevents bleed-through even with fountain pen, oil-based, and alcohol inks.

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to paper, and even the same sheet feels different depending on the nib or tip of a pen. Exploring how these ultra-thin writing pads respond to ink and touch is one of the true joys of writing. The Paper Tasting Writing Pad Set series is designed to satisfy that curiosity, an engaging way to compare, discover, and celebrate the diversity of Japanese paper stationery.
