My Hobonichi Techo Doesn’t Get Daily Use

However, I love the paper and recently bought a Hobonichi Plain A5 notebook that uses the same paper and it will become my next Bullet Journal.

I plan to eventually fill up the unused pages with pen tests and maybe use them as a reading log.

  • Pen: Pilot Prera <F>

  • Ink: Pilot Namiki Blue-Black

  • Paper: Tomoe River S, Hobonichi Techo Original: A6, Japan, January Start

When You’ve Had 24 Hours to Dry

Guess that ink brand: Yes, I enjoy their products and particularly their Black works well on non-fountain pen friendly papers. The irony is that Noodler’s will often smudge on coated fountain pen friendly papers and bleed through non-fountain pen friendly papers making it only good for fine and extra fine nibs; go any broader and your mileage will vary.

  • Ink: Noodler’s Brown

  • Paper: Nolty Diary Paper A5 notebook, Limex (Limestone paper blend)

  • Pen: Twsbi Eco <B> Note: The nib is the compatible between the Eco and Go.
