I love Japanese Stationery. I even dedicated a whole A to Z Challenge to Japanese Stationery in 2016. So this time I wanted to highlight a couple of pocket notebooks from Japanese Stationery Brands.
Life
I first discovered “Life” stationery when I was travelling in Japan. The Life Vermilion notebook (pictured above) is a simple yet high-quality notebook, both inside and out. It is a 5mm grid notebook with a vermilion coloured grid on cream coloured paper.

I love Japanese notebooks – this is just one of the many Japanese brands that I love. Do you have a particular country that you enjoy buying notebooks and stationery from? Share in the comments.
Thank you for joining us during the A to Z Challenge. Our theme this month is an A to Z of pocket notebooks and we encourage you to follow us on twitter and/or Instagram for more stationery inspired blog posts.
I think of myself as a semi-obsessed stationery freak but when I was in Ginza, Japan last year, I had to go to Itoya. And I did, and I came out with a moleskine because frankly I was overwhelmed with the entire store. So overwhelmed. I don’t have a particular place/ country to buy stationeries but wherever I travel, I’ll go to at least one stationery store.
