Red Pine Wooden Page Notebook A6
Once you open the cover of the Wooden Page Softcover Notebook, you’ll find pages made from thinly shaved and dried wood, known as “Kyogi” (経木). The wood’s texture and grain patterns bring a serene feeling every time you open the notebook.
Kyogi has an interesting history in Japan. About 1500 years ago, when Buddhism was introduced, paper was rare and precious. Monks at that time wrote sutras on thin wood as part of their training.
The technology back then couldn’t shave wood as thinly as today. The manufacturer, Yamatowa, welcomed skilled artisans to develop the technique. They succeeded in commercializing this unique Japanese notebook.
Since it’s made of 100% wood, ink may bleed or transfer easily. If that concerns you, I recommend using a pencil or ballpoint pen. Sketching with colored pencils on the wood is also a great idea.
Alternatively, you can embrace the ink bleed as a natural feature of the wood. Enjoy it as part of the notebook’s unique charm.
Wood may warp due to humidity. It may also change color over time as it ages. Please enjoy these natural changes as part of your notebook’s journey.

Coexistence with the Forest of Shiki Bun
In the Ina Valley, located in Nagano Prefecture in Japan, a company called Yamatowa supports coexistence with forests. Once, people were closely involved with forests and received many blessings from them. However, as lifestyles changed and forests were left untended, overgrown and dark forests increased. Untrimmed branches and leaves block sunlight, damaging the health and ecosystem of the forest.
Yamatowa believes that although it's difficult to return to the old ways of living, it's possible to bring living closer to forests again and increase the number of healthy and bright forests that are well-maintained, as in the past. They think that using Japanese wood appropriately in daily life will lead to forest conservation, and with this in mind, they launched a brand called Shiki.
To realize their vision, they use Akamatsu pine from the Ina Valley, and skilled woodworkers create products including notebooks and other wooden products.

Loveeee
"It smells of wood and the pages inspire you to create. It is great with brush pens, but you have to follow the grain of wood"
One is not enough
"It was smaller than I expected even though they list the size. I'm about to order another and the large size as well. The scent of the wood is an added bonus to the visual delight of the real wood."
Never seen anything like it
"Super cool note book, it's real wood so it's interesting to write in. Pages can bleed a little depending on your ink. you do need to treat it with care, if you dog ear a page it won't fold it will chip, it's wood! Definitely not something you will find anywhere else."
"Fantastic design, quality. It is small, but to treasure."
"I am speachless of how unique and beautiful the notebook is!"
Best birthday gift ever!
"I bought this notebook as a present and I was thrilled to receive it in an excellent packaging and wrapped in a beautiful fabric! Thank you Komoreby Stationary!! The arrival was very late, but it was mainly due to my country’s postal services and I got added taxes paid on delivery."
Perfect
"Just the perfect pocket sketchbook, note book, delightful."
"This product is exactly as ordered! The pages sound like paper when flipping through, but are the look, feel, and smell of wood. I preordered this product, which said it would begin shipping on December 25, and I received it in North Carolina, USA on December 30. I have not purchased from this brand before, so I am glad that it shipped quickly and that my expectations were met."
"Package delivered in safe packaging, beautiful presentation wrapped in a cloth. The book itself is very beautiful and smelt wonderful, each one a unique wood pattern."
