A Japanese beauty that makes writing enjoyable
Washi notebooks are a traditional Japanese craft technique. Paper is tightly woven with threads, integrating the front and back sheets into one notebook.
The handmade notebooks, carefully woven, have a deep flavor that becomes more familiar the more you use them.
Because the threads are firmly woven, the pages are less likely to come loose, allowing for long-term use.
They are compatible with fountain pens and ballpoint pens, providing a pleasant writing experience.
Ideal for diaries, travel journals, sketchbooks, poetry collections, and idea notebooks, these notebooks transform your daily writing into a special time.
Details that shine with the charm of hand-dyed paper
The hand-dyed washi paper used in this patterned notebook is carefully crafted by skilled artisans at a specialized workshop in Kyoto.
The deep colors and unique blends created by traditional techniques are truly captivating.
Looking at the roll, you can feel the depth of the subtle color gradations unique to hand-dyeing.
The delicate shades and gradations created by handcrafting produce a one-of-a-kind beauty.
Each edition is carefully dyed to create warmth and depth that cannot be expressed by simple printing.
Every detail reflects the refined beauty of Japanese craftsmanship. With each use, you can feel the meaning of traditional patterns and artisan skills from Japan.
Born from skilled craftsmanship, please experience the charm of this blend of style and warmth.
Wishes and prayers woven into the Seigaiha pattern
The infinite waves symbolize abundance
Large, swelling waves and small, calm waves. The Seigaiha pattern is a layered design of overlapping arcs like waves.
It is a motif with great meaning for people living near the sea around the world, not just in Japan. You can also see this design in Egypt and Persia.
Appearing in ancient Japanese texts from the Heian period and popular among commoners during the Edo period, it has a long history.
The good motifs of abundant blessing and infinite symbols have become beloved as a pattern for wedding celebrations and housewarming gifts.
The colors are displayed in a gentle blue series,
and a warm brown series. Both have individuality, making them perfect as colorful items for daily writing.
※ Because large sheets are cut to make these, there may be individual differences in the placement of the rolls. Thank you for your understanding.
