MarumanMnemosyne Inspiration 5 mm Grid 6.3 x 8.3

Paper is paper, right? Try this pad, it made me stop using my iPad or laptop for notes.Also, the Japanese shop is amazing! Really fast and friendly service.

...so we have that in common!The paper quality is very high and the fact all pages are micro perforated is a nice touch. The reverse side is blank which may not be liked by everyone but I like it.It is however expensive for what is, as you can get some great paper by Rhodia for far less - but it is coming from Japan!I will recommend this if you have some fat juicy stub or zoom nibs that throws out ink as this paper wouldn't flinch. You can also get some satisfying flex if your nib is designed for it and it looks jolly good.Finally any pad that has pictorial examples of what you can use it for and includes sketching puppies as an option HAS to score very highly. I think all pads should encourage sketching puppies as a lawful requirement. #satire

Cute, cute. It's essentially an A5 pad that's landscape oriented (instead of portrait oriented like other pads), with grids on one side, and blank pages on the other. Some people might not like this, and I don't know how I feel about it yet (I do like grids on both sides of the paper), but so far it's cute, the paper is quality, and it works for me.

Do not take this as a notebook alone. Each page can be taken out neatly. Great fountain pen paper. It doesn't get a five only because of price.

I bought this, I am ashamed to admit, to get another item overnight as I needed it the next morning before company came over. That being said, I find it a true joy to write on and it showcases the various inks I use it with to great affect. If you're just in search of a grid paper, there are cheaper options, but if you use this with a fountain pen ink, it works marvelously, and I enjoy using it to plan my day as the grid makes it very easy to adjust my to do list, reminders, etc. as needed daily. I would highly recommend it.

Smooth paper...great for pointed pen calligraphy and preparatory sketches or wc for projects...

Forse la carta più piacevole su cui scrivere, se non è al primo posto è comunque sul podio. Perfetta per penne stilografiche, l'inchiostro non si diffonde e non traspare per niente, la scrittura è perfettamente scorrevole. Raccomandato

High-quality notebook. I just bought it again.

This is the notebook I've been looking for. The quality of the paper is fantastic- you can feel it just by touch- and it takes ink well. I like the small graph, and the light grey lines make it very unobtrusive. I also like that it's really set up for landscape orientation, but can be used either way without getting in your way.If you're not familiar with ISO paper sizing, A5 is roughly the size of a trade paperback. It's big enough to have good room to write, but small enough that you can carry it around without feeling like you're lugging around a big notebook.I knocked a star off for the fact that Maruman didn't make it ruled on both sides. This is subjective for me, as some people might actually prefer having an unruled side, but I'd prefer both sides to have it.
