Kakimori A5 Notebook - Y. & SONS Raindrop Stripe

$45.50
Kakimori

Inspired by the refined textures and patterns of Japanese clothing textiles, the Kakimori Y. & SONS Raindrop Stripe A5 Notebook offers an elegant home for everyday sketches, journaling, or notes.

A specialty store for men’s kimonos, Y. & SONS custom measure, construct, and tailor traditional Japanese garments with meticulous attention to detail. The Raindrop Stripe fabric is expertly crafted in Hamamatsu, in Shizuoka Prefecture—an area formerly known as the Enshu region known for its textile heritage. The notebook's delicately woven stripes represent the soft drizzle of rain, bringing a quiet, calming presence to any workspace.

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.
