Question 1

What is lokta paper and why is it special?

Accepted Answer

Lokta paper is made in Nepal by hand, using traditional methods from the bark of the Daphne buxifolia mountain shrub. The fibres are extracted from the bark, boiled in water, hand-dipped and sun-dried – a process unchanged for millennia. The result is a robust, slightly textured, natural paper that does not yellow, does not tear easily, and writes well with both fountain pens and ballpoints. This paper carries more within it than a simple sheet – the work of a tradition and a community.

Question 2

How many pages does the lokta journal have and what is it sufficient for?

Accepted Answer

The lokta journal contains 45 pages. This quantity is ideal for recording a special period in detail – a journey, a summer, a meditation practice – without being so bulky that it burdens the carrier. For those who write occasionally rather than daily, this size is perfect. The 21 × 15 cm dimensions fit in a handbag.

Question 3

Can lokta paper be written on with a ballpoint pen and a fountain pen?

Accepted Answer

Yes, lokta paper is robust and accepts both a ballpoint pen and a fountain pen well. The natural, slightly textured surface gives a particularly beautiful effect when written with a fountain pen – the ink is absorbed slightly into the fibres, lending a unique, organic appearance. Thicker-nibbed fountain pens give especially beautiful results. It can also be used with pencils and felt-tip pens.
