The auspicious motif has been modernly designed to fit into modern lifestyles. Craftsmanship: Carefully finished one piece at a specialized factory in Kyoto. Modern traditional patterns: 6 types of patterns × fun to choose from in 2 colors. Durable and long-lasting: Very durable because it is sewn together with thread.

Japanese binding is a traditional Japanese bookbinding technique. This notebook is made by sewing paper together with thread to integrate the cover and spine. The notebook, which is carefully bound by hand, has a gentle opening and a depth of flavor that blends in your hand as you use it. It is securely bound with thread, so the pages do not fall out easily, so you can use it for a long time. It goes well with fountain pens and brush pens, and is very comfortable to write. Journals, travel notebooks, sketchbooks, poetry collections, idea notebooks, etc., will turn your daily writing into a special time. A detail that highlights the charm of hand-dyed. The hand-dyed washi paper used in this Japanese-bound notebook is hand-finished by Yuzen washi dyeing craftsmen at a specialized factory in Kyoto. It is attractive for its deep colors and unique texture using traditional techniques. When you look at the close-up of the pattern, you can feel the delicate color overlap unique to hand-dyeing. Subtle shades and bleeding enhance the texture unique to handwork, creating a unique beauty. By carefully dyeing each plate, it creates a depth and warmth that cannot be expressed through simple printing. The finish is made with attention to detail and brings out the beauty of Japanese. Every time I use it, I can feel the meaning of the beautiful craftsmanship and traditional patterns of Japan. Please feel the charm of this texture and warmth created by the handiwork of craftsmen. Wishes and prayers contained in the pine pattern. Pine is a symbol of prosperity. Pine is a plant that the Japanese have long loved as a sacred symbol. We have repeatedly wished for "immortality and longevity" in the appearance of maintaining lush leaves even in the cold winter, and "prosperity of descendants" in the characteristic of male and female flowers blooming in one plant. Since the Edo period, it has become an indispensable presence in daily life from performing arts, such as being painted on the board wall of Noh stages and making kadomatsu to welcome the god of the year in the new year. The strong vitality and beauty of pine trees are still loved by many people today. Available in two colors: green, which is a healing color, and warm orange. Although it has a calm color, it has a personality and is perfect as an item to color your daily writing. *Since it is made by cutting large paper, there are individual differences in the arrangement of the pattern. Please note.
