ほぼ日 Hobonichi Notebook, Tomitaro Makino/Hobonichi Grid Notebook (A6), Yamazakura, 0.1 inch (3.7 mm) Grid, 240 Pages, 4 Colors, Notebook Accessories

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!

I got the A6- Pretty straightforward little notebook. It would make a nice little supplement to the techo. Tomoe river paper makes it look very Slim for 120 sheets. It comes in a 3.5mm grid, the 120 sheets are divided into 4 colours, but frankly, as is the case with the techo, the grid Colours on its own are so very subtle, i am strained to tell when one Color ends and the other begins 😄. That’s not a complaint, it’s nice they keep it subtle or else it would be very over whelming. But I would have to add index tabs to keep track. Love the cover design and the high quality finish.

I love the paper in Hobonichi notebooks - originally thought I ordered a5 only to find I love the compactness of the a6!

Precioso cuaderno🙂

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.

Hands down my favorite notebook. The paper is thevstar of the show! You do need to understand the paper to fully appreciate it. It can handle a lot and holds up beautifully. It is especially known to make fountain ink dazzle on the paper, showing all the beautiful characteristics of the ink. The book opens beautifully and lays wonderfully flat, once trained. The paper does not bleed, unless you really overload it in ink. It is a thin, wonderfuI to touch paper. Due to the thinness you may see some light show as you turn the page, but does not affect your writing experience at all. It adds to the character of the page. It is a premium notebook, versatile, and worth every penny. Something I look forward to repurchasing. The journey of cracking open that new book to seeing it grow and morphe into its own unique piece of art. A story all its own
