Tomoegawa Tomoe River Writing Pad – A5

Sale price$27.00 USD

This A5 writing pad uses the original Tomoe River paper, manufactured by Tomoegawa in Japan. The 52 gsm sheets are remarkably lightweight yet provide a solid writing feel, with an exceptionally smooth surface that showcases fountain pen ink at its best. Sheen and shading appear vividly, while feathering is kept to a minimum—qualities that have made Tomoe River the global standard for fountain pen–friendly paper.

The paper used in this pad was purchased in bulk before Tomoegawa ceased production. Once this stock is gone, the original Tomoe River will no longer be available. Many still prefer Tomoegawa’s original version over the later Sanzen edition, making this pad especially recommended for those seeking the classic experience.

Each pad contains 200 plain A5 sheets, perfect for extended writing sessions without adding bulk. A sturdy, double-sided pencil board is included to guide your writing—one side with 12 mm ruling and the other with a 6 mm grid, suitable for letters, notes, and layout work.

Rather than simply selling beautiful paper, Yamamoto Paper values delivering the full character of each sheet—its writing feel, texture, and the way it changes over time. They are also known as “custodians” of paper culture, reviving legendary papers that have gone out of production and passing them on to the next generation.

What makes Yamamoto Paper especially beloved is their balance of craftsmanship and playfulness. Their Paper Tasting series, for example, lets you sample different types of paper as if you were tasting wine, turning the exploration of paper into a delightful experience. It’s this combination of uncompromising quality and creative spirit that has earned them loyal fans among stationery lovers and fountain pen enthusiasts around the world.
