Dressco Stitched Bank Ledger Paper Notebook Set of 3

Sale price$30.00 USD

Experience the quiet beauty of paper through this refined notebook set by TAKEO, Japan’s century-old paper house.
Each notebook—Brown, Grey, and Ivory—is made with Bank Ledger Paper, originally developed by Mitsubishi Paper Mills for handwritten accounting ledgers. Valued for its silky surface, balanced thickness, and soft whiteness, this paper has long been admired by writers and designers for how it holds ink with clarity and grace.

Though Mitsubishi Paper Mills has since discontinued its production, limited stocks remain among a few paper suppliers in Japan, making it a cherished material for those who appreciate fine writing paper. Its gentle translucence and smooth yet substantial texture bring a calm rhythm to writing—each turn of the page producing a quiet, satisfying sound.

Bound with simple stitching and housed in a Cordoba paper case, this notebook set reflects TAKEO’s belief that paper is not merely a medium but a sensory experience connecting the hand, the eye, and the heart.

Perfect for journaling, sketching, or simply enjoying the feel of pen and paper.

Explore our Japanese notebook collection, crafted for exceptional writing and creative sketching.

TAKEO: More Than Just Paper

Founded in 1899 as a small paper shop in Kyobashi, Tokyo, TAKEO later moved to Kanda and has spent more than a century refining the expressive power of paper in a neighborhood of editors and printers. TAKEO sees paper not as a mere material but as an experience that begins the moment it is held. The warmth against the hand, the way light passes through a sheet, the sound when a page turns — the company has quietly explored why paper stays in our memory.

This approach comes to life at the Mihoncho Main Store (Paper Sample Gallery) in Kanda, Nishikicho. Visitors can pick up sheets, hold them to the light, stack and flip them, and check every nuance before they buy. You can feel the shades of white, the shadows of embossing, and the character of ink on a surface. Rather than simply selling paper as a tool, TAKEO creates a place where you can feel it first and choose with confidence. That commitment sits at the company’s core.

Its technical foundation is equally solid. TAKEO understands paper-making design, surface finishing, the reproducibility of color and texture, and the expressions that printing, processing, and binding can bring, then links these insights to the work of designers and production teams. This is why the company has supported choices where paper leads the story, from a single business card to book covers, packaging, and everyday stationery. For people who love paper, TAKEO is a trusted guide that helps you begin not with what to use, but with how it should feel and what it should communicate.
