Kakimori A5 Notebook - Banshu Grey Chambray

$35.00
Kakimori

Crafted with a 100% cotton Oxford cloth cover, Kakimori's A5 Banshu Grey Chambray Notebook makes an elegant home for everyday sketching, journaling, or note-taking.

This notebook’s hardcover is crafted from Banshu textile, a traditional Japanese yarn-dyed cotton fabric originating in the historic Banshu region. Dating back to the Edo period, this time-honored technique involves dyeing the yarns before weaving, a tradition that continues today in the making of everyday items such as shirts. Gently washed for a soft, smooth feel, the delicately textured shirting fabric has a subtle texture and a warm, inviting feel.

Inside, every detail is thoughtfully designed for daily use. A stranded bookmark helps you keep your place, while the Smyth-sewn binding allows pages to lie fully flat across an A4 spread. The premium Yamamoto OK Fools paper, subtly printed with a gray 5mm grid, is fountain pen-friendly and provides a smooth and luxurious writing experience with every pen stroke.
