High quality Made in Japan notebook that you should try using

Hello everyone have you ever heard of [Tsubame notebook]? It is a notebook used in many of Japan’s universities that has been produced for many years by a company based in Tokyo, Asakusa. Lately, the company decided to export the notebook overseas and it has been recognized worldwide for its high quality. So today I would like to introduce the [Tsubame notebook] to everyone.

Characteristics of Tsubame notebook

One characteristic of the notebook is that it uses a paper called [Fools paper] which has its roots from foolscap paper and is used for writing; it is made with great effort, from wet pulpy material, using an intricate method. Thus, the paper has a unique touch, giving the notebook a different feel from your other normal notebooks. The paper is smooth to touch but it will not cause the pen tip to slip across the paper. Also, it contains less florescent dye, therefore, being easier on your eyes.

Another thing about the notebook is that the cover design has remained unchanged since 1947; the cover design can be said to be nostalgic to many people. Also, the notebook has many different variations based on its size and the ruled lines on the paper, giving it a large line up for you to choose from to meet your needs! In addition, the notebook has many collaboratives with brands and mascot characters; a Miffy edition notebook went on sale recently. The producing company has a long history but it is not afraid to incorporate new things into the notebook.

University notebook

Here we have the no.1 standard university notebook. The design on the notebook is cute and it is available in both B5 and A5 sizes.

The feeling of writing on the paper is amazing; the paper of the notebook is smoother than normal paper making it much easier to write on. This notebook would suit those with quick writing. Also, the ink is imprinted on the paper nicely and does not spill over onto the back page.

Plain notebook

This notebook has no ruled lines, so the paper inside is a simple plain white surface.

The smoothness of the paper makes it easy to turn the pages of the notebook. Also, similar to the university notebook, it is easy to write on. In addition, the lack of ruled lines makes it easier for you to write down ideas and thoughts in any way you like. Lastly, it is convenient to carry around so you will always have something to jot things down on.

Cream notebook

The cream notebook uses cream colored fools paper and the cover design is exquisite and fashionable.

The notebook is bounded on the side by a strong tape that has a rough texture and the paper inside is gridded.

Again, being able to write smoothly on the paper of the notebook feels amazing. Also, since the paper inside is gridded you can use it for various different situations.

So, how about trying to use some Made in Japan notebooks for school or work? The notebooks also make for good souvenirs! They are all available at LOFT or stationery shops, so please have a look around.
