I met the creative team behind Wonderland 222 while I was in Portland this summer and was absolutely delighted to be able to put faces to this amazing product line. Wonderland 222 is best known for their Tomoe River-based planners — simple, minimal planners in loads of formats.
While talking with Liisa, I discovered that Wonderland 222 still has some notebooks that use the classic Tomoegawa (original) Tomoe River paper.
I purchased the B6 368page Grid Edition ($24) from 2023 in Lichen (which is a very minty green). The notebook has a softcover, similar to the materials used for Stalogy and other flexy cover. And the big news of course is that these notebooks still contain 52gsm Tomoe River Paper by Tomoegawa. Yep, you read that correctly, Wonderland 222 still has old school Tomoe River Tomegawa paper notebooks still in back stock.
Inside, there is a page for a key and an index (just one page for each) and then simple pages for the remainder of the book.
The pages have numbers down the side for use as a time tracking/time blocking and at the top, there is a place to write in the date. The numbers start at 5 (am assumably) and goes to 24:00 (or midnight).
Each page is numbered which makes indexing easier.
It was fun to pen test on this classic stock and results were exactly what I expect from old school Tomoe River.
I definitely want to stock up on a few more of these notebooks especially since they are available with this delicious classic Tomoe River paper and available in an array of sizes (A5, A6 and B6) and page count (96, 192 and 368pp).
I also grabbed one to giveaway to one lucky reader. It’s a B6, 96-page softcover notebook ($10) in the Perfect Pinecone colorway which is sort of a shimmery copper color. It would make a perfect project notebook.
