Sustainable living notebook made from purely natural wood

It's a "living" notebook
Their philosophy is "Creating Lifestyles that Create Forests", and it places emphasis on creating products from forests.
Therefore, this wooden notebook is the wood itself.
The texture varies from piece to piece.
It also may change color as the months go by.

It's "living notebooks" that you can feel with the warmth of wood.
A notebook that becomes part of your life

Unlike paper notebooks, this notebook is made of wood, which becomes softer and easier to use the more you use it.
The cover is a "dark pine needle color" to resemble leaves, and the case is a "cocoa" color to resemble tree bark.
The colors were chosen to evoke the image of trees in a forest.
It is a notebook that makes keeping a diary, taking notes, and writing fun.
A notebook made from Kyogi (経木)
”Kyogi" is made of wood shaved thin like paper, and has been used as a traditional wrapping material in Japan.
Originally used to write sutras, each page of the notebook is made by hand.
Made with extraordinary care and attention
Unlike paper, making notebooks from living wood took more time and effort than imagined.
Each of these wooden notebooks is carefully hand-bound by craftsmen.
The wood is warped, splintered, and of course, some of them are more mature than others, but each piece of wood is unique, and the notebooks are made with as much care as possible to avoid splitting.
The craftsman's skill is the reason these notebooks were created.
