Please do a part two. I am not Japanese, but I am obsessed with paper too! I match my pens to notebooks based on how the pen performs on the paper.
Me too
Then you need a shrink like her.
@@RadioRich100 Well, I am a psychiatrist, YOU are the one who would benefit from seeking psychiatric/psychological assistance. Based on your pathetically ascerbic statement, your life must be a great disappointment and/or miserable.
@@RadioRich100 experts are valuable and get paid for their knowledge, unlike you and your comment.
@@Call-me-Al Utube "experts" are self appointed and are trying to get paid for something nobody needs. They are far from valuable. If you think they are then you are a very shallow and gullible person.
You don’t have to be Japanese to appreciate quality paper. As someone that does a lot of writing, art, and researching, paper quality has always meant something to me, right down to the feel of the paper in the book I am reading.
I do however like the options available in Japanese stationary. I’m a big fan of the Campus notebooks and the Hobonichi Techo.
ye the campus notebooks are one of the best ive tried
As an American, I LOVED stationary stores in Japan!! I bought so much stuff and I still use it every day. Cute paper, pens, postcards. Even my calligraphy pens are Japanese. It would be a dream to open a stationary store in the USA. I felt like I was in heaven when I was in Itoya. 6 or 7 FLOORS of stationary.
Japan is one of the most developed countries but still is stuck to its ancient roots 😌😌
It is just very very pleasing to see this 🥰
I could listen all day about Japanese people using paper and what they write and how it differs from the common everyday citizen to more specialized fields. Music to my ears. uwu
'uwu' 🤓
This is so interesting to me as an American. I'd love to know more about the history of paper in Japan!
number one killer in japan is the paper cut
Please. Stop giving me a new reason to love Japan 😍
I had never even heard of dot grid notebooks until I started looking more at Japanese papers and stationery. It's now one of my favorite ruling styles. Many Japanese papers are also fountain pen friendly, which I really appreciate!
Part two please and also bloopers in the end. Thank you!
i wish more people talked about Japanese paper
You didn’t mention Tomoe River Paper or what was going to be a likely replacement for it - the most important paper question of the year!
I've seen a few reviews of what they are calling "Successor."
i must have missed something, what's happening to tomoe river paper 😥 it's my favorite
@@caramelldansen. It's been discontinued
@@radicalbacon ah :( sad to hear that, thanks for the reply
The best paper using for fountain paper is Tomoe River.
I love Japan's overall attention to detail
I had no clue about Japanese stationary when I was at university. So I've made up for lost time and have developed a bit of a reputation in my department for my pen collection. I'm a middle-aged mom now, going back to do my PhD. Bring on all the stationary things!!
I would LOVE to see a part two about paper! This video made me want Many More Notebooks ... RIGHT NOW!!! 😄😄😄
When I went to a museum in Kyoto, they had a side shop that sold all types of washi paper. They even let you purchase what you need or leftover scraps. I purchased some washi paper and a traditional notebook. The paper and the craftsmanship is so beautiful, that I probably will never write in the notebook and frame the sheets of paper. Japanese paper is just amazing to touch and use just like my first Campus notebook. It was so easy to carry and lesson plan in. I wished that I had that size of a notebook in college. It would have been a breeze to keep all of my notes separate instead of having to always split my notebooks in half for each subject😞
Thank you, Miriam! Add my vote to a Part 2 episode. I would be interested in the writing styles, writing instruments, paper styles (like you covered today), the art of paper making if you could delve into that and, the art of using paper for things other than writing such as origami, nengajo and noshi (if I spelled those correctly!). It seems there is even an art to wrapping packages in Japan. The Japanese excel at these things.
I love your comment about Japan still embracing analog tools. IMO, those of us in America lost something important when we moved to hi-tech. I think that's one of my top reasons for returning to fountain pens, ink and paper in my aging years. [ Hint: my return has been a thoroughly enjoyable, albeit rather expensive, deep dive down the rabbit hole -- thanks, Jet Pens! :-) ]
Thank you for making this video. I am a writer/calligrapher by heart and I write on paper all the time.
I have fallen in love with Japanese paper, it is more better than the plain paper I have used for years.
I have been to your online store and have a notebook in mind that I want to order when I get money.
I still have my Midori eraser I got as a kid in Japan in the 1970’s.
The paper choices are stunning.
Thank you!
I so enjoyed this. Thank you. I am a stationery addict and love my Japanese notebooks and planners. I appreciate the fine quality paper and attention to detail. I know most of the brands you mention and buy them regularly. It was illuminating to hear how this excellence comes about. There is great stationery here in the UK too and in Europe but it’s so different to the Japanese approach. Fascinating video.
I was surprised at the quality of Japanese paper from Daiso, which is basically Japan's dollar store. It was head and shoulders above anything a North American dollar store would ever offer. Hell, here in Canada, loose leaf and notebooks aren't really a dollar, more so $1.25-$2.00.
I have a Daiso in my city and I enjoy the notebooks, washi tape, and stickers at the affordable entry prices. There is another store, Maido, that carries Japanese pens, fountain pens, notebooks, and stationery. I like to see and touch the stock items, then order them from JetPens at cheaper prices. 🤫
A part 2 (and maybe 3, 4, 5 and 6 too :) ) would be great. I definitely want to know more about the history of techo-culture in Japan.
A video about the history of Japanese paper would be very interesting to me. In college I worked 2 summers in a paper mill in the southeastern United States.
In Savannah or New Brunswick I would assume but I could be wrong
@@scsstopmotions989 St. Mary’s, Gilman Paper Company
Part two please!!!🥰🥰🥰
Do you use Japanese notebooks? Tell us your favorite ones in the comments! Make sure to like and subscribe to see more videos like this.
Kokuyo campus 😄
I use Kokuyo Campus and I really love the binder notebook, I use the binder feature a lot because I am super indecisive and re-arrange my notes often
Mini documentary on paper please 👍 I would like a part 2, thank you guys
@@SageMoobloom yes, that’s the only one I have-and I haven’t even used it yet-😅 so excited to use it, and am getting more campus products in the future!
I use notebooks of bound tomoe river paper. Do you know of any good alternatives with similar properties? I love how thin the pages are because I can get notebooks that last me a long time but don’t end up being super thick for the number of pages I get.
Thanks Miriam for hosting such a fascinating video; please do a part 2 video.
I love writing with fountain pens and 24 lb linen paper. I've tried Tomoe River paper, but I think I how the paper feels in my hands is as important as how it feels when I write with my fountain pens. I'll watch the video again, and try a couple new Japanese papers. Thank you.
hiii i love your video so much i watch your video everyday♡♡♡♡♡♡
I just adore paper.
So many wonderful choices! I definitely do not need any more notebooks or journals right now. But this video has me wanting some new ones!
Please, please. Videos on history of stationery in Japan, contemporary stationery culture, everything 😍😍😍

Very interesting. Yes to a part 2.
This is such a wonderful introduction to the different types of Japanese papers! Thank you!
Yes to a part two!
Please make a part 2, and part 3, and….more. 😃
I learned a lot. I better understand the different Kokuyo notebook papers. And why Japan makes such a wide variety of well designed and specialized writing implements and papers.
Thank you JetPens for your dedication!! I absolutely adore this channel, i rewatch your videos all the time! Half way to 1Mil subscribers!🥳 congratulations!!! I recommend your videos to anyone!!!
Thank you for this video! Please make part 2 😊
Yes I would like a part 2. Currently I'm using a midori for Journaling, but I also have some leuchtturm1917, rhodia, clairfontaine notebooks. Also, why do you not carry any blank page leuchtturm1917 notebooks? I wanted to buy some from your site but you don't have any 😢
It looks like leuchtturm1917 has them on their own site. Lots of options. Do they not ship to where you are?
@@darbytims5968 I did buy some from somewhere else, I just find it odd that jetpens doesn't have any blank notebooks in any color.
Always up for learning more - totally here for a part 2!
Love this video and I do hope you'll make a Part 2! 💙
Miriam, I hope you and Jet pens continue to do these types of videos. I especially liked the informative aspect of this video. Miriam, your personality and interest in stationary comes through in the video. thanks for researching and sharing this with us!
Yes please do a part two! This video was so interesting and had a lot of good info. I wouldn’t mind a longer video with more goodies 😎
Would love a part 2 and beyond! Interesting.
THANK YOU for this video......and happy new year to you all at JetPens!♥
This explains why Japan has the best paper (for writing) I've encountered.
“Did you know Japan still uses fax machines?”
Public administration in Germany: Halten Sie mein Bier…
Seriously though: Fax machines are still going strong here because of pig-headed stubbornness where “embracing digital” is often synonymous with “we have a website with our office hours, and we even have an email system that we use to tell you that you need to fax certain documents.” It is getting better but you would not believe how software that is 20+ years old is still being used. Some systems/processes rely on Windows98 for Pete’s sake. Looking at you, Berlin District Court. I am surprised that punch cards are not a thing anymore.
It's a legal thing. Emails are not considered tamper proof, but a fax is...
I work in healthcare and was told that faxes are more secure. Can anyone more tech savvy than me confirm or negate that?
This was amazing! Please make a part 2 :)
Great video. We need a part 2!
What a great introduction to Japanese paper. Part 2 Please!
Big fan of fine writing, my husband and I work 2000km apart so I write to him often and he has a box of all the letters I've written, I like writing on parchment in particular as it's thin but also fountain pen friendly. I find it such a soothing process and I can express myself in a longer train of thought than I can talking on the phone or texting.
Great job of sharing a lot of detailed information quickly.
I'd love to see a video focused just on Japanese made watercolour papers. I lived in Japan for 8 years and barely scratched the surface of the paper available there.
Please do part 2! I love these informational videos.
I just received a Kanso Noto notebook for Christmas, along with my first fountain pen, and I'm enjoying journaling with them so much!
Please! I am an avid fan of Japanese culture and it would be a delight to learn more about it. We all need a part 2.
Yes! Please make a part 2!
What a fantastic quick look into Japanese paper culture. Love the video!
Awesome!! I would love to know more!!
Amazing information and soothingly therapeutic as well!
Thank you for the informative video. When I was at university, I worked in a US paper mill during summer break and they used a mixture of hardwood and softwood pulp. The smell of the kraft process is one you do not easily forget. :-)
Great video Miriam. Congratulations. I can’t wait for part two.
Thank you! This video is very informative, and yes I would like a part 2 please :)
Part 2 please! :)
Great video!
Definitely a second part!!
This is so cool, I really enjoyed this and it helped me understand the reason why I have been obsessed with Japanese paper for the last 5 years. They really do think of the little details.
great content please make part 2! I love Japanese and all kinds of paper!!
Thank you for this video! I always enjoy using Japanese paper and look forward to part two.
Thank you, 😀 Amazing! Yes, I'm ready for part 2.
Please do make a part 2 thank you! Loved the video super helpful
Please make a part two! This was so interesting!
Please do a part 2, part 3, part.... as many as possible, and as long as possible! I could watch these videos for hours. :)
Yes to a Part 2!
I would love a part two!
Would love more of these
Love it 🥰 please make a second video. It’s so hard to find a good notebook with good paper
Please make a Part 2, this was really interesting!
This was very interesting. I would like to see a part two!
Wow you have answered so many questions that I did not know I needed! I really want to know more. Now I know that I havent been buying the right paper for me and my fountain papers and gel pens.
Thank you for the interesting video. I would love to see a part 2. 🙂
I’d LOVE a part 2!!!!!
I would love to see a part 2 for this!
Yes part 2 please! I had no idea they used wood pulp. In wood pulp canvases and watercolor paper, it brings out the paper texture that fades after paint application. But this is so cool for writing. I would like to know more about washi tape and origami paper! I love this kind of stuff and I promote it heavily to friends and family lol
Very interesting. I could listen all day. Very informative video. Thank you!
wow, i never knew this! i find their attention to detail soooo cooool
Yes to Part 2.
Konichiwa, i am a 50 year old female from the United Kingdom and love writing. I think it is importand to hand write letters as i believe it shows effort and consideration to others if you can take the time to write to someone. I would love to see another video about Japans history with paper and writing. Maybe the wall art and Japanese calligraphy, origami and why origami is special. I have liked and subscribed because this video meant alot to me. Can you also consider telling us what pens are/were traditional in Japenese writing please. Thank you so much for your videos and work.
That was cool to learn about the cultural significance. Thanks for sharing this .
So interesting, thank you! 👌
I loved this history lesson moment. Thank you. Part II would be good.
I enjoyed the video, please do part 2
Yes please for a part 2. Im a paper lover too !!!
I would love a part too! As someone who has always been super sensitive to touch I have always loved feeling the difference in texture when it comes to books and paper and always loved how Japanese paper felt better than a lot of the competition! I would love to see what you guys would do for a part 2!
I enjoyed the Paper from Japan video. Please do more. Your videos have prompted me to buy more product than any other form of outreach you do. Please keep them coming.
Thank you for this. I still am obsessed with paper, practically from birth, till this day.
Great topic! I would love to know more.
I loved this video! I use a lot of Kokuyo products including their Campus notebooks and have always appreciated their quality and user-friendliness. Please make a part two!
I'd love to see a second installment in this series.
This is wonderful. I always wondered about Japan's wide range of paper. This is very interesting and it would be nice to know more. Please make Part 2. 👍🏻
Thank you for this video. 🙂
I love Midori MD paper. I started using the Midori 1Page-Day journal as my journal for 2021 and absolutely loved it. Gel pens just glide on the paper and the colors show really well. I can stick alot of stuff like washi, paper, even polaroids, and the paper is still intact. Sure, the journal ia super bulky, but the journal itself is durable. Love it.
Decided to try the Hobonichi cousin this year because there was a rumor or news that the makers of the Tomoe river paper were discontinuing that line, so I wanted to try it before it's gone. The paper is thinner than what I'm used to, but I love how the pens work with the paper. Loving it so far.
Yes to Part 2!
