Was really good to see a review on the notebook as you don’t see many of these around. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it and testing out different pens to show it’s weight and best use. X

I understood Fude to be pronounced foo-deh. People use the stalogy as a switch out for a Hobonichi as the paper is a bit thicker than the Hobonichi, not as smooth/coated (so ink dries faster) but in other ways quite similar. Some folks, however, liken it more to the Rhodia paper (another notebook you might like). Bullet journal folks really like this notebook. ~Leigh

Thanks heaps for the info. I use a rhodia as my main omni journal 😁 TFW

[@jadesplans9055]

I love these notebooks, I use mine as a journal but in A6 size. They're awesome 😊

[@InkieBeard]

Agreed, they are awesome! TFW 😁

I would like to see an A5 soft leather cover 400 - 600 pages Tomoe River 52g paper and Midori style binding (allowing to open flat). That would be my dream notbebook to carry around all year long.

[@InkieBeard]

That would be an amazing notebook!! 😍 TFW

[@destinedthunder]

Elia or Nanami Cafe

[@prettye.noelle8099]

Just bought the a6 will go back in and buy the a5 when I finish this one

[@donnachaplin1012]

[@InkieBeard]

It's quite awesome! TFW 😁

[@Geemeel1]

very helpfull well done. Thank you X

Nice notebook! I wonder how it will work with a fountain pen.

[@InkieBeard]

The calligraphy pen should be pretty close, same amount of ink distribution. I do need to get a fountain pen for my collection 😁 TFW

[@ringwe]

It works exquisitely well. I'm using a Pilot Metropolitan and a Pilot Kakuno. As expected with such thin pages there is of course some ghost through. Out of curiousity I even tried some watercolours and the paper behaved remarkably well.

[@InkieBeard]

That's excellent to hear! I was going to do some watercolour as part of my tests but thought the paper would be too thin. TFW 😁

[@barbarawest1205]

I would love to find a nice fat A5 or A6 with white 68gsm Tomoe River paper an a square-grid pattern. My current favorites (have been for a couple of years) are the Enigma and Breeze notebooks sold by Taroko Design. They have dot grid paper, not squared, but I've been able to work with it. I tried Stalogy a couple of weeks ago and found I could barely see the grid lines, and that once a spread was inked, if it contained boxes, horizontal lines, or vertical lines, the degree of ghosting made it even harder to see the grid lines on the next page. 😢

How many squares across is this? was hoping the b5 was also 4mm like the a5
