Life Stationery Japanese Paper Airmail Writing Pad Plain B5

Ultra-thin airmail paper that turns correspondence into ceremony. Fountain pen-friendly sheets, guide included, handmade in Japan since 1946.

Why This Exists

Life Stationery's Airmail Writing Pad pays homage to the golden era when letters travelled by air and every gram mattered. The lightweight onionskin paper wasn't just practical—it was part of the ritual of long-distance correspondence.

This modern version keeps the delicate translucence of vintage airmail but adds feather-resistant fountain pen performance. The included guide sheet (printed with both horizontal and vertical lines) sits beneath the paper to keep your handwriting perfectly aligned, making every letter feel considered and deliberate.

What Makes It Good

• L Writing Paper — smooth, flat surface that resists nib scratching and ink feathering
• Translucent sheets — use the dual-sided guide sheet beneath for straight horizontal or vertical writing
• Feather-resistant — handles fountain pen ink beautifully without bleed-through
• High-quality pulp — uniform fibres create tear-resistant sheets with natural texture
• Handmade binding — crafted just outside Tokyo by a small team using methods from 1946

Who This Is For

Letter writers who want their correspondence to feel as special as the words inside. The B5 size suits Life's C6 airmail envelopes perfectly, making this ideal for anyone who still believes in the ritual of written letters—or wants to start that practice with paper that deserves fountain pen ink.

Specifications

Note: If you're tired of correspondence that feels disposable, this is the paper that makes every letter worth keeping—the kind of stationery that turns writing into an occasion rather than an errand.
