Excellent ink control
As someone who uses both hard and soft pens, this paper offers great versatility. The ink does not bleed through excessively, making it suitable for double-sided writing if careful.

Great quality, slight variation
The paper quality is excellent for the price. There was a very slight variation in the grid alignment on the last few pages, but it did not affect my practice.

Perfect for daily practice
The grid lines are printed very lightly, which helps guide my small regular script without distracting from the ink. The semi-processed paper handles brush strokes beautifully.

Authentic feel
I love the antique-style binding. It feels like using a traditional manuscript book. The thread binding is sturdy and lays flat when open.

Ideal for genealogy records
I purchased this to start recording my family history in calligraphy. The 10-line grid is perfect for neat, small characters, and the paper ages well.
Q: Can I use fountain pens on this paper?
A: Absolutely. The smooth surface of this semi-processed paper works wonderfully with fountain pens, gel pens, and traditional brushes alike.
Q: Is the thread binding durable for long-term storage?
A: Yes, the traditional thread-binding method used by Wanshantang is known for its durability and is often used for documents intended for long-term preservation, such as genealogy records.
Q: Does this book come with an 8-line or 10-line grid?
A: This product is available in both 8-line and 10-line grid options. Please select your preferred layout from the dropdown menu before adding to cart.
Q: Is the paper thick enough to prevent bleed-through with wet brush strokes?
A: Yes, the semi-processed Xuan paper is designed to absorb ink well while minimizing bleed-through. However, for very wet strokes, we recommend placing a blotter sheet underneath.
Q: How many sheets are included in one book?
A: Each handbound book contains 40 sheets (80 pages) of high-quality grid paper, providing ample space for extended practice sessions.
