Sakae Technical Paper Tomoe River FP Loose Sheet, A4, White (SR-A4P-W) | Produced by SANZEN, 8.27” x 11.69”, 100 Sheets/Pack, 52gsm

Tomoe River paper is renowned for its thinness while still preventing bleed-through of fountain pen inks. I purchased this to make refills for my Midori Traveler's Notebook. It is beneficial in applications like that where you want minimal thickness to obtain maximum number of pages in a given space. There is also a unique aesthetic factor this paper provides with a bit of "crinkle" to the pages. This paper is similar to what you find in many bibles, where to use regular paper would make the book extremely thick. While this is listed as a "white" paper, it is really off-white. I would say "cream" would be a better description. Also, it is important to note that while this paper does a great job of preventing bleed-through (ink soaking through to opposite side) it does not fully prevent ghosting (ink showing through as a shadow). With its thinness there is just no way to prevent being able to see the text on the opposite side of the page. The amount of ghosting that occurs will differ depending on what you write with and the thickness of the writing instrument. I would say this is the paper's biggest limiting factor. I prefer to use a very fine or fine nib pen when I use this paper, to limit the see-through. Overall, it is great paper. One last thing for anyone who wonders, this paper CAN be used in a laser printer. I print lines on the pages I make for my notebook with no trouble. There is an occasional page with a crinkle in it, but I would say this happens less than 5% of the time - pretty impressive for such a thin paper. I didn't need to use a "lead-in" sheet or anything.

I purchased this paper for writing letters with a fountain pen. The paper is thin enough that I can see lined paper beneath it, but it does not bleed through or feather. My pens glide over it with ease. It’s a great value and a high quality product.

This paper. My goodness! I had no idea how paper could have a cult following until I found Tomoe River. So much about fountain pens is about optimizing your writing experience for your personal tastes. And this all starts with having the right surface upon which to write. Tomoe River paper is a very worthy candidate and lays the perfect foundation for success with your writing. The paper is longer than traditional printer paper and perhaps a bit skinnier if memory serves. This isn’t necessarily a detriment or a benefit—it all depends on what it is used for and your preference as the writer. I like the unusual dimensions of it. It gives it a special sense and distinguishes it from others. You’ll never have to guess which paper is the Tomoe River. It has this ultra smooth and soft finish. Almost a bit velvety, it’s so smooth. It is thinner than traditional printer paper, yet it holds up similarly, perhaps even better than, cheap copy paper despite being thinner. I also haven’t seen it bleed or feather. Granted, I have not subjected it to harsh experimentation, but if I do, I’ll do my best to update my review. It is also neat in that it is translucent enough to place over printed guidelines for calligraphy and to see and use them just fine, yet not to a distracting degree. When you take the paper off the guidelines, you don’t realize how translucent it is! What rare sorcery is this?!! Overall, I think it is absolutely exquisite paper worthy of a Queen. If you’ve fallen prey to the fountain pen addiction or are simply into good paper and an improved writing experience, you simply MUST give this paper a try to see what all the fuss is about. I suspect you’ll be just as thrilled as I am!

First, this paper is perfect for writing. I have a Hondigan fountain pen with an extra-fine tip, and I use Hondigan black ink. Writing is smooth, blotch-free, and does not bleed to the other side. You cannot see the writing on the other side without holding it up to a light. It is a joy to write on. I have read reviews where people compare the thickness to tracing paper, but it is somewhere between tracing paper and standard printing paper. The thickness is perfect. If you are performing a burning ritual, it burns rapidly and thoroughly. I fold mine in half twice before burning, and it's a very satisfying and dramatic effect without being an uncontrollable conflagration. It is so thin and lightweight that there is not much smoke. You can light the bottom edge with a candle or lighter and drop it in your ash bowl. It will completely burn. This paper is perfect for burning rituals. The size is also perfect for burning rituals. There is enough room to write on both sides and fold it twice so that no text is visible without cutting it. I will use this paper for all my burning rituals forever. It si perfect.

Thin, non-absorbent paper that’s perfect for shimmering/sheening inks and fountain pens in general. This paper is almost miraculously tough and resistant to bleed for such a light GSM. The paper is also very smooth, not velvet like Rhodia, but close, and personally I think it’s perfect.

Shows sheen and shading on ink rather nicely, and it's very thin, which makes it great for use in a pocket notebook. But the texture is surprisingly... rough? It feels almost scratchy writing on this (cf., e.g., the very smooth + beautiful Iroful paper), though you'd never guess from the written lines because they look so nice. I can't argue with the results, but I wish the writing experience was a bit smoother.

I write regularly with fountain pens, and this is the best paper I own. It is the lightest, thinnest paper that I have, but the best. There is never any bleed through. There is occasional faint ghosting. This paper is the best for showing the qualities of the particular ink that I might be using. Five stars

was looking to interleave a new bible I bought but having tested other bibles I had found copy paper to thick. I found this paper and it, I believe if remembering right, was said to be half the thickness of copy paper but thicker than tracing paper; it is just the right thickness . I love it and would say to anyone looking to turn their own bible into an interleave bible this paper is great. I bought 2 packs but will be buying more to do my whole bible with it.

Ich bin schon seit Langem von diesem Papier überzeugt. Auch der Versand war reibungslos. Gerne wieder.

If you are a fountain pen enthusiast then Tomoe River paper will not be new for you. It is regarded as the #1 paper for writing on with fountain pens. It is the paper against which all others are compared to.

Very good paper

Franchement horrible. La qualité tomeo river est finie...l'encre bave, c'est horrible. Plus rien a voir avec le papier d'avant. J'utilise avec des encres sheen. Plus aucun effet métallique. De plus même en écrivant avec des stylos plumes fins, le trai s'étale tellement que ca en devient inutilisable. Voir photo. Je ne comprends pas les bons avis. Sur la deuxième photo on peut voir a quel point l'encre à traversée... une honte
