The Coupeville Paper Collection. A Story 25 Years in the Making
On a recent visit to Bainbridge Island, I discovered a small shop—Jan McGregor Studios—filled with Japanese antiques and treasures. Tucked among them were rare sheets of 25-year-old Chiyogami paper, purchased in Tokyo and lovingly preserved ever since.
With some hesitation, Jan graciously allowed me to purchase her entire Chiyogami Paper collection, and in return, I promised to give them new life through my notebooks.
Now part of my personal archive, these papers—known in the studio as Coupeville Paper—carry history, beauty, and meaning. This design features soaring white cranes with gold accents over a richly layered landscape of bronze, black, and ochre, paired with high-gloss black Japanese book cloth.
Only a handful of B5 and A5 notebooks were made. A rare gift—for those who write with intention.

This is perhaps the most beautiful- and exceptionally well-constructed notebook I’ve ever held. And the paper is 118gsm/80lb which- at least so far- holds up exceptionally well to fountain pens. A smooth writing experience with absolutely no ghosting, shadowing, or bleed-through. This might be the Holy Grail of notebooks for me.
Just Beautiful! Looking forward to putting pen to paper!
Received my 3rd journal from Graystorm, and as always, such a fantastic piece of craftsmanship! I look forward to the continued offerings that Myburgh will bring to the table...
