Earlier this year I was gifted a pack of original A3-sized Tomoe River 52gsm paper. While I was very happy to receive such a wonderful gift, it immediately presented a problem for me. More than one, actually. First, what the heck am I going to do with A3 paper? It’s way too big for most practical uses and I hate …
