J is for… Japan

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.

  • Cardstock softcover
  • 32 pages
  • A6
  • 5mm Grid
  • Threadstitched binding
  • made in Japan

Another example of a pocket notebook by Life is the Margin Notebook. This is a plain notebook with a thick red margin layout.

  • Cardstock softcover
  • 80 sheets
  • semi B7
  • Plain with Margin
  • Cloth Binding (red)
  • made in Japan

Mark’s Japan

I also wanted to feature Mark’s Japan/ Mark’s Tokyo. This stationery brand is best known for its Storage.It Collection. However, they also do a decent range of regular notebooks as well (including the pocket travel notebook pictured above).

  • cardstock cover with pocket
  • 40 pages
  • Lined (blue)
  • 105x145mm
  • Stapled Binding
  • made in Japan

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.

One thought on “J is for… Japan”

  1. 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.
