Our leather-bound notebooks are handmade by Mr. Yoshino, who is Japanese designer and craftsman too.
Our high-quality notebooks are due largely to his skills.
Using bookbinding techniques, signatures are sewn by hand without cutting corners.
The signatures are bound in luxury genuine leather by hand and finally, a luxury notebook is born.
The signatures are sewn together by "Papillon Toji(Papillon sewing)".
"Papillon Toji" is a process of bookbinding which the book designer Ms. Kumiko Tochiori developed.
It is a fusion of European bookbinding and Japanese traditional bookbinding.

The cover is made of high quality Italian Cow Hide "Toscana", which is a product of I.P. Valdarno International in Italy.
"Toscana" is vegetable tanned leather and Nature-friendly.
It has beautiful 'LEATHER TEXTURE' and was given plenty of oil to turn soft and supple leather.
