Tsubame has the most classic and timeless notebooks. The production has been the same since 1947 and so has been the design. The 81,4 gsm paper used is very smooth and surely suitable for fountain pens, it doesn’t show any bleeding or smudging.
Handmade in a small workshop in Tokyo, Tsubame notebooks have high standards. The acid-free paper is made without any fluorescent dyes and the lines are printed in a soft color. This way the paper is easy on the eyes. For assured stability, the paper is binded instead of glued. So that even intensive use couldn’t rip the pages out. The Tsubame notebooks all have a calming and nostalgic feel to them
