Yamamoto Paper A4 Loose Paper Packs - Smooth Onion Skin (Alcohol Inks)

Yamamoto Paper

Yamamoto Paper’s Smooth Onion Skin is a beautifully thin, semi-transparent writing paper, named for its resemblance to the delicate layers of an onion. Historically prized for its light weight and durability, onion skin paper was often used for airmail stationery, typewriter paper, record-keeping, lengthy volumes, and even Bibles.

Unlike traditional onion skin that shows natural wrinkles from air-drying, Yamamoto Paper’s version is finished with a dry wheel process, resulting in a smooth surface with excellent writing performance. Despite its remarkable thinness, this paper resists bleed-through even with low-viscosity fountain pen inks, while offering vibrant ink expression. It is also compatible with alcohol markers and oil-based pens for layered coloring without show-through, making it a versatile choice for both writing and creative work.
