Tsubame Note started in 1936 in Japan as a stationery company. Ten years later, in 1946 they started making their own paper and notebooks. Tsubame's paper, named Fool's paper, was a response to the popular high end Foolscap paper from England at that time. (Fool's Cap was used as a watermark for paper long before, and it became a standard unit for paper size and a synonym for good paper.)

Typically, when a paper is designed for fountain pen, it comes with a tradeoff. It's smooth, but it takes longer to dry. It often takes so long to dry that ink blotter is needed. Fool's paper, however, is not only smooth but it dries really fast too. 

Other than the paper quality, the pages are produced with traditional lattice method with water-based ink, which does not interfere with fountain pen ink at all. To this date, they are still using the same traditional method with the same notebook design.

It was also popular among college students, which is why it's also referred as the 'University Notebook'.

Excellent quality notebooks

I fell in love with these notebooks after I bought two, then I bought eight. I am a young writer and I like to write long hand. I am currently writing a novel and these notebooks make the writing experience incredibly enjoyable.

I also want to thank Daisy and Neil for their lovely handwritten notes, and how they carefully wrap my items. One can tell they care about details and quality and us customers. I will definitely have you at the top of my list from now on.

Also my items arrived super fast. One can't be thankful enough for their diligence.
