Traditional Patterns and Skilled Craftsmanship Combine to Create Beautiful and Practical Elegant Memo Pads
The "Pattern of Happiness" series is an original design born from the traditional Japanese patterns that embody the meaning of "wishing for happiness," brought to life together with a textile designer.
One of the patterns features pine, which retains its green leaves year-round and endures harsh cold, symbolizing "longevity."
We have designed modern patterns that infuse this good motif of longevity with a contemporary lifestyle.
✔ Skilled Craftsmanship: Each piece is carefully crafted by hand in a Kyoto box-making specialty workshop.

✔ Practical for Everyday Use: Perfect for jotting down quick notes, studying, or work.
✔ Also Ideal as a High-Quality Gift: The "Pattern of Happiness" conveys special thoughts.
Bringing the Beauty of Wa (Japanese Style) into Everyday Life
The memo pad size is approximately 10cm square (memo paper size is about 9cm square). Just one on your desk adds a sense of preciousness with a comfortable size.
Use it freely and as you like for shopping lists, ideas, jotting down thoughts, To-Do lists, and more.
At your office or home desk, for a little communication with family or partners, for study, work, or business scenes. This elegant memo pad lets you quickly jot down your daily "little notes" in a convenient form.
Hand-dyed Japanese paper adds beauty and makes writing memos a special moment.
The Accent of Color Inside
Not only beautiful when opened, but for the front and back covers, simple, texture-rich paper without a pattern is used.
While drawing on the beauty of the pattern, the subdued atmosphere it creates allows you to enjoy a design with different expressions on the front and back.
Delicate handwork allows smooth opening and closing, making you feel comfortable every time you use it.
The Charm of Hand-Dyed Skilled Craftsmanship
The hand-dyed Japanese paper used in this memo pad is carefully handcrafted one by one by skilled artisans specializing in traditional Japanese paper dyeing workshops in Kyoto.
The deep colors and unique harmonies created by traditional techniques are truly captivating.
Looking closely at the pattern, you can sense the rich layering of colors unique to hand-dyed paper.
The subtle gradations and nuances brought by handcrafting create a one-of-a-kind beauty.
Each edition is carefully dyed to produce a gentle warmth and depth that cannot be expressed by simple printing alone.
The hand-dyed Japanese paper with layered brush strokes is crafted one sheet at a time by Kyoto box-making artisans. Each subtle difference in expression brings out your unique special feeling.
Experience the harmony and warmth created by the artisans’ handiwork.
Wishes and Prayers Encased in Pine Patterns
Pine is a Symbol of Abundance
Pine is a plant that the Japanese have long loved as a sacred symbol.
Even in cold winters, its verdant leaves retain their color, symbolizing "longevity." The pine, together with plum and cherry blossoms, forms a single stem representing the wish for "prosperity of descendants."
Since the Edo period, pine has been regarded as a plant where gods dwell, painted on Noh theater panels or used to welcome the New Year by creating gate pines, becoming an indispensable presence in the arts and celebrations.
The strong vitality and beauty of the pine are still loved by many people today.
The colors are a green series reminiscent of fresh greenery,
and a warm orange series. Both color combinations have personality and quietly add elegance to your desk.
※ Because large sheets are cut to size, there may be individual differences in pattern placement. Please understand.
