A book that gathers the beauty of Japan making writing enjoyable
Japanese paper is a traditional Japanese papermaking technique. The fibers are woven together to unify the front and back paper into one notebook.
Notebooks hand-dyed with care have a depth of flavor that grows on your hands the more you use them with a pleasant opening feel.
Because the fibers are tightly woven, pages do not easily come loose, allowing for long-term use.
They are well compatible with fountain pens and ballpoint pens, providing an excellent writing experience. They are especially suitable for diaries, travel journals, sketchbooks, poetry collections, idea notes, and more, transforming daily writing into a special time.
The charm of hand-dyed paper stands out in detail
The hand-dyed Japanese paper used for the front paper of this notebook is an original by Fuwa Market. It is carefully handmade by artisans at a specialized workshop in Kyoto who dye Yuzen Japanese paper.
The traditional technique creates a deep color and a unique harmony that is truly captivating. Looking at the texture of the paper, you can feel the delicate layering of colors unique to hand dyeing.
Subtle gradations and shadings bring out a unique beauty that only handcrafted work can achieve.
Each notebook is carefully dyed by hand, giving rise to a warmth and depth that cannot be expressed by simple printing.
The meticulous craftsmanship highlights the beautiful Japanese aesthetic. Every time you use it, you can feel the meaning of traditional patterns and the skill of Kyoto artisans.
Please experience the charm of this harmony and warmth born from the artisans’ handiwork.
