Tomitaro Makino / Almost Daily Square Notebook (A5) Yamazakura 3.7 mm Square 288 Pages, 4 Color Grid, Notebook Accessory

Tomoe River is a top notch paper and fine to medium nib fountain pen friendly particularly if you are not using too much of a wet ink. The remarkable feature of this notebook is that its light in spite of offering 288 pages and hence carrying a thicket notebook at half the weight makes it easier of office, journaling, travels, etc. The notebook has soft cover and opens more or less flat. Thinner but high quality pages with square grid features makes it suitable for project notes and planning notes. If offered at affordable price of INR 1800 around, this notebook is bound to storm the market. Those who use fountains, love to jot down project notes and plan, this notebook with an aesthetic cover design is just perfect. Further, the company should consider same stitched/ soft bound or hard bound notebooks in 300 to 400 pages and possibly with section dividers. Hope we get the quality at the affordable price soon if the shop or the company happens to see this review.

The Tomoe River paper can really draw out the character of your pen and ink. It's hard to believe it's the same pen sometimes. Love it!

Precioso cuaderno🙂

Love this note book the paper is great some ghosting but it’s thin paper so it to be expected. I use micron pens and paper mate flair felt tip markers and tombow markers the only bleed though issue I’ve had is with the blending tombow markers. It lays super flat when open, and the grid size is in my opinion perfect. Keep in mind that the note book is broken up in to four different sections by way of the doted grid being different colours for each section.

薄いですが書きやすく丈夫です。 長期に同じノートを使い続けることができ、便利です。

I love this notebook. I'm considering purchasing my first Hobonichi Cousin for 2027 but I really wanted to ensure I like the Tomoe River paper before committing to a Cousin. It's absolutely true that nothing shows ink shading like the Tomoe River paper. The paper is thin but there was zero bleed through using a fairly wet pen and ink.
