Wooden Sheet Loose Leaf Paper

Sale price$7.00 USD

The Wooden Sheet Loose Leaf Paper is made from ultra-thinly shaved wood, known as “Kyogi” (経木) in Japan. It offers the beauty and warmth of natural materials on every page. Each sheet shows delicate wood grain patterns, bringing a calm, organic feel to your notes, sketches, or messages.

Kyogi has a deep cultural history. Over 1,500 years ago, when Buddhism arrived in Japan, paper was still a precious luxury. Monks used thin wooden sheets to practice writing sutras. Modern Japanese artisans have refined this old technique with great care. The result is a unique loose leaf paper that blends tradition and craftsmanship.

Because it’s made of 100% wood, some inks may bleed or transfer easily. For the best experience, we recommend using a pencil or ballpoint pen. You can also enjoy sketching with colored pencils, or embrace the natural ink bleed as part of the charm.

As with all natural materials, the wooden sheets may warp slightly or change color over time, adding character and uniqueness. This product is more than just paper—it’s a piece of Japanese stationery art that brings nature’s beauty to your everyday life.

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.
