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.

El papel es delgado y de muy buena calidad. Perfecto para usar con pluma fuente. La tinta no traspasa el papel, ni se corre.

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.

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!

I like the flexibility of the soft cover. The ornate decorative print is a nice touch, and I just noticed that there is a dot grid printed on it.The paper feels thin, but not cheap at all! I've used two different fountain pens (inexpensive Pilot and a Lamy Al-Star) with Pilot iroshizuko (red) ink and Pelikan 4001 (turquoise) and there is no bleed-through or even ghosting on the flip side of the page. I don't write on the left side, so I don't know how that would look.The paper is also very smooth to write on, and both nibs just glide over it in a very pleasing way. I knew right away it was a much better paper than the papers I was previously using.
