The SS Standard is back! Now with the Sanzen Tomoe River notebook paper, 52gsm! Please note that all reviews prior to August 2022 refer to older versions, which used TRP from the Tomoegawa company. What we mean by "Standard": Plain, regular, no-frills. No lines on the pages. Simple, tough, no-nonsense design. It's a blank canvas, ready for your personal touch.

It can even be folded back on itself. If you were to go on an around-the-world trip over the course of many months and needed to document your experiences in great detail, this journal would certainly be up to the task. The paper size is A5 (148x210mm or 8.3x5.8 inches), and 15mm thick. The cover is made of buckram, which, aside from leather, is t Read more
