Writing Mats - Soft Green
)
This is the listing for the translucent green soft mat. It is flexible and has a matte finish.
A writing mat goes under the paper you are writing on and enhances the pen- or pencil-to-surface connection. Mats, or "underlay mats", are very popular in Japan, where penmanship is still part of their rigorous educational system.
You can also use a writing mat as an extension of the end of a page in a thick notebook so that your palm always has a place to rest.
They come in three sizes*: A5, B5 and A4. If you work with various paper sizes, A4 is largest and will cover all your needs, although larger usually also means it is harder to transport.
Mats come in four different surfaces: smooth, matte, smooth-soft and matte-soft. You may have to experiment a bit before your find your preference. You might like one surface in particular, or one for pens and a different one for pencils. You be the judge - there is no right or wrong.
Please see the other listings for pictures and more information.
Made in Japan.
* Actual sizes are slightly larger than ISO sizes as are as follows:
A5: 155x215
B5: 178x248

Exactly what I needed
Posted by Unknown on 18th Apr 2023
I had been checking Nanami for a long time (about 2 years...), unsure if I really wanted or needed a writing mat. At some point, I got one off Amazon, but it wasn't nearly as flexible or soft as I wanted. I finally caved and ordered this one. Not only did it arrive the very day after I placed my order, but it's also great quality. It's the perfect flexibility, and the color is nice to look at too. My notebooks have never looked neater! I've found I really love how it works with pens, but even using pencils is great with this mat under my page.

So good I ordered a second.
Posted by romevi on 10th Dec 2022
I've used the A4 size for years and wanted a portable option. The A4 is good to keep at a desk because of the larger size. Though I primarily use B5 or A5 notebooks, the A4 is nice to spill outside the page and use as sort of a hand rest while writing.
Yet I still wanted a portable option to keep in my writing organizer, so I ordered the A5 size. Same great mat but in a smaller size. I wish these were slightly thinner so I can keep them in my notebook instead of alongside it.

Absolutely wonderful for ballpoint.
Posted by eggbunni on 21st Oct 2022
The softness of the mat has some give, unlike the Shitajiki writing boards from Hobonichi, so if you’re using something like a ballpoint which requires some pressure to write, it helps your handwriting perform beautifully on the page. With fountain pens, I do prefer a harder surface, but it’s still just as lovely! The mat is a bit thick so it causes the paper near the seam of my journal to bulge, making it inconvenient for writing close to the binding. And the mat is larger than actual A5 sheets. So I prefer to use this with loose leaf A5 paper than as a writing board within a journal as it inhibits my ability to fill the entire page. Lovely and haven’t found anything like it! So much better than ordering a leather desk mat which provides the same function, and much more affordable!

Really Comfortable and Helpful to Use
Posted by Anonymous on 25th Aug 2022
I really love the texture and thickness of this material -- it's just right for me. Each side has a slightly different texture - one smoother and the other with a little but of "tooth." Both are excellent. I use it with an A5 notebook and find that it being sized slightly bigger to be annoying so I used an ordinary pair of scissors to trim it down a bit to exactly match the A5 dimensions = perfect! It's particularly helpful when using very thin paper like Tomoe River 52gsm or 68gsm. So glad I have this.

So happy I found this site! I was losing hope on finding this product within the US but ended up finding this site come to find out they’re based about 40 minutes from me. Received the product the day after ordering!

A Grand Writing Matt
Posted by TGFF on 17th Mar 2022
This matt is on the thin side which makes it easier to use in either a paper pad or notebook or a journal.
This matt may be thin but it is strong and will last a very long time and many years of use.
I recommend this item and this seller.

A Very Top Shelf Writing Mat
Posted by Terence GF Flynn on 25th Sep 2021
I found that using one of these in a notebook or paper pad eliminates any pressure impressions on the pages under the one I was writing on.
These writing mats are very thin and fit between sheets nicely.
These writing mats are also thin enough to leave in place between uses or traveling.
These writing mats are a quality companion to writing on quality fountain pen paper.

I love this and the other writing items I’ve been receiving. I’m a customer for life!

This is the best soft one, because it's reversible
Posted by Dante on 13th Apr 2021
And one side gives you grip, but its also good to write on. The only problem? Nanami NEVER has any in stock, so I just spend elsewhere....
