Worth every penny, the A6 size fits in my phone bag but the Tomoe River 52gsm is thin but can still stand up to both Platinum Carbon Black and Tsukineko Galaxy Gold stamp pad without any bleedthrough or even significant showthrough, it can even carry a brass clip bookmark without even the *suggestion* it's going to tear! This paper is the stuff. Also I just realized if you put some stickers on they'd last the duration of the book under the clear-cover? If you like to travel but still use ink that would eat most western paper alive this is perhaps the best journal you can buy. Keep making this, please!
