This is the last of my purchases from the 2024 Orlando Pen Show. I indulged in a few traveler’s notebooks to see how they performed and review them. The quality of the leather cover is fantastic, and I love the foil drawings of many aspects of Tokyo life. Even though I will not travel there this year, it may be a lifetime goal. Meanwhile, I am inspired to travel to local shops from the show and see just how many good pen and ink shops are here. Sometimes, the fountain pen community only thinks about the bigger stationers and pen companies online. These shows demonstrate all the local makers and sellers waiting for us to take a short drive and support them as well.
Cheers to yet another Japanese stationery company with high-quality fountain pen-friendly paper. The leather is dyed by hand and has a solid look, the patina will be fun to witness as time marches on. Let me know if you have a Traveler’s Notebook, where you use it, and what for.
Here’s the pens and inks from the same show.
