RO-BIKI NOTE Texture Series Tonoko

The cover of the "RO-BIKI NOTE" is made from waxed paper, which develops a vintage character with subtle color changes and marks as it's used. The interior pages are crafted from Soliste paper, suitable for a variety of writing instruments, from pencils and ballpoint pens to fountain pens and dip pens. The thread-bound construction ensures the pages remain secure, even when the notebook is fully opened or used extensively over time. The "RO-BIKI NOTE Texture Series" is a new collection that explores how waxing can further enhance the inherent textures of paper. Embossed patterns created by engraved press rolls and nuanced colors derived from carefully managed raw materials gain a richer depth after the waxing process. The interplay of transparency, varying with the amount of wax applied, adds another layer of visual interest. Tonoko-iro (Clay Powder Color) This color name is inspired by "tonoko," the fine powder produced when sharpening blades on whetstones. Tonoko has traditionally been used for finishing raw wood and as a base coat for lacquerware, and Kabuki actors have also used it as a base for their stage makeup. 60 pages Size: 88×125mm Paper: Plain / Soliste Binding: Thread-bound with glue Made in Japan
