fountain pens

recently learned that the original tomoe river paper was discontinued a few years ago (some sellers still have old stock) because of declining demand that Tomoegawa couldn't manage

Sanzen Paper bought the rights for ~$2M and are now producing it with a new machine, though people have said the new paper isn't as smooth as before

i managed to get a notebook with the original paper ytd!!

more context

digitalization is great but it’s really sad to see parts of paper heritage fade away
