About the fabrics:
Grey, Banshu-ori 04 & 07 - The Banshu-ori region of Japan is renowned for its production of traditional yarn-dyed textiles. These notebooks showcase the refined texture and craftsmanship of Banshu-ori fabric.
Aseedoncloud 08 & 12 - Aseedonclöud is a fashion brand created by Kentaro Tamai. Each season’s collection is born from stories. The fabrics used on these notebooks come from a collection called “kiokushi”, featuring an artist who creates maps of memories.
Y. & SONS - Y. & SONS is a specialty store for men’s kimonos, operating under the concept of a "kimono tailor" where they measure, create, and tailor each kimono. Sparrows is based on the motif of "Autumn Pond and Sparrows" by Edo period painter Ito Jakuchu. Kuzushi features kimono fabric made in Katakai-cho, Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture. The pattern was inspired by a tool called "sangi", a uniquely Japanese form of mathematics calculation established in Wasan during the Edo period.
