Kakimori A5 Notebook - Y. & SONS Kuzushi

$45.50
Kakimori

Inspired by the elegant textures and patterns of Japanese textiles, the Kakimori Y. & SONS Kuzushi A5 Notebook provides a dedicated space for everyday sketching, journaling, and note-taking.

Y. & SONS, a specialty store for men’s kimonos, custom-measures, constructs, and tailors traditional Japanese garments with meticulous attention to detail. Crafted from kimono fabric produced in Katakai-cho, this understated design draws inspiration from sangi, the traditional Japanese counting rods used in wasan mathematics—creating a pattern that subtly weaves historical craft into a refined, contemporary look.

Inside, every detail is thoughtfully designed for daily use. The Smyth-sewn binding allows pages to lie fully flat, creating an A4 spread. The premium Yamamoto OK Fools paper, subtly printed with a gray 5mm grid, is fountain pen-friendly to provide a smooth and luxurious writing experience with every pen stroke.
