Seems a bit "twee" or whatever the word is, is it embossed into the paper or just very faint lines? And why show only Japanese handwriting when you are putatively, willing to sell it to people who will write in English?
- cianmm 3y agoThey've got a Tokyo office so they're probably interested selling to that market too
- bobbylarrybobby 3y agoMy experience is that no demographic cares about paper quality like the Japanese.
- DiabloD3 3y agoGiven how many extremely high quality, end game, niche items I've ended up buying from Japanese companies, I'd agree.

I don’t use pens or pencils much anymore, but I still get a kick out of browsing and trying out the vast selection in large stationery stores in Japan. (I live in Yokohama.) Japanese book printing and binding have long been top-level, too. I used to help edit dictionaries for Japanese publishers, and I ended up collecting several hundred paper dictionaries from around the world. The Japanese dictionaries had the clearest printing, the thinnest and most opaque paper, and the strongest and most flexible bindings.
