Do you use a notebook to take notes?

Many people use the convenient memo function of their smartphones or computers instead of writing down important things or taking notes during meetings.

But now imagine if you had a notebook like this. Wouldn't you want to use it?

Look at these beautiful wood cover notebooks that convey wood's warmth and feature aesthetically pleasing designs. We recommend them even to people who don't usually use notebooks.

These notebooks have beautifully carved Japanese patterns similar to our popular "temple seal" notebook series. However, whereas the "temple seal" notebooks contain one long sheet of Japanese paper, folded accordion-style to create multiple pages, these notebooks we are introducing here are in the conventional notebook style, containing individual sheets of ruled paper.
