You don’t have to be Japanese to appreciate quality paper. As someone that does a lot of writing, art, and researching, paper quality has always meant something to me, right down to the feel of the paper in the book I am reading. I do however like the options available in Japanese stationary. I’m a big fan of the Campus notebooks and the Hobonichi Techo.

@randy-9842 2 года назад

Thank you, Miriam! Add my vote to a Part 2 episode. I would be interested in the writing styles, writing instruments, paper styles (like you covered today), the art of paper making if you could delve into that and, the art of using paper for things other than writing such as origami, nengajo and noshi (if I spelled those correctly!). It seems there is even an art to wrapping packages in Japan. The Japanese excel at these things. I love your comment about Japan still embracing analog tools. IMO, those of us in America lost something important when we moved to hi-tech. I think that's one of my top reasons for returning to fountain pens, ink and paper in my aging years. [ Hint: my return has been a thoroughly enjoyable, albeit rather expensive, deep dive down the rabbit hole -- thanks, Jet Pens! :-) ]

@karleneb1263 2 года назад

When I went to a museum in Kyoto, they had a side shop that sold all types of washi paper. They even let you purchase what you need or leftover scraps. I purchased some washi paper and a traditional notebook. The paper and the craftsmanship is so beautiful, that I probably will never write in the notebook and frame the sheets of paper. Japanese paper is just amazing to touch and use just like my first Campus notebook. It was so easy to carry and lesson plan in. I wished that I had that size of a notebook in college. It would have been a breeze to keep all of my notes separate instead of having to always split my notebooks in half for each subject😞

@bernadetterobertson9957 2 года назад

Thank you for making this video. I am a writer/calligrapher by heart and I write on paper all the time.

I was surprised at the quality of Japanese paper from Daiso, which is basically Japan's dollar store. It was head and shoulders above anything a North American dollar store would ever offer. Hell, here in Canada, loose leaf and notebooks aren't really a dollar, more so $1.25-$2.00.

@mb5ggX2SyFMM 2 года назад

I have a Daiso in my city and I enjoy the notebooks, washi tape, and stickers at the affordable entry prices. There is another store, Maido, that carries Japanese pens, fountain pens, notebooks, and stationery. I like to see and touch the stock items, then order them from JetPens at cheaper prices. 🤫

@carolinebennett5615 2 года назад

I so enjoyed this. Thank you. I am a stationery addict and love my Japanese notebooks and planners. I appreciate the fine quality paper and attention to detail. I know most of the brands you mention and buy them regularly. It was illuminating to hear how this excellence comes about. There is great stationery here in the UK too and in Europe but it’s so different to the Japanese approach. Fascinating video.

“Did you know Japan still uses fax machines?” Public administration in Germany: Halten Sie mein Bier… Seriously though: Fax machines are still going strong here because of pig-headed stubbornness where “embracing digital” is often synonymous with “we have a website with our office hours, and we even have an email system that we use to tell you that you need to fax certain documents.” It is getting better but you would not believe how software that is 20+ years old is still being used. Some systems/processes rely on Windows98 for Pete’s sake. Looking at you, Berlin District Court. I am surprised that punch cards are not a thing anymore.

I love Midori MD paper. I started using the Midori 1Page-Day journal as my journal for 2021 and absolutely loved it. Gel pens just glide on the paper and the colors show really well. I can stick alot of stuff like washi, paper, even polaroids, and the paper is still intact. Sure, the journal ia super bulky, but the journal itself is durable. Love it. Decided to try the Hobonichi cousin this year because there was a rumor or news that the makers of the Tomoe river paper were discontinuing that line, so I wanted to try it before it's gone. The paper is thinner than what I'm used to, but I love how the pens work with the paper. Loving it so far.
