TATAMI MEMO: Premium Notebook featuring Rush Grass (Igusa) integrated using Echi

The Secret of TATAMI MEMO This notebook is truly unique: the Japanese paper (Washi) is crafted by integrating Rush Grass (Igusa), the very material used in traditional Tatami mats. The paper is made from Igusa that would otherwise be discarded during the Tatami production process. The result is a natural, soft green hue that subtly shines through, as if the gentle aroma of rush grass itself is wafting from the page. Enhanced Focus and Writing Experience The visually soothing green shade transforms your "writing time" into a more peaceful and centered experience. It is also an excellent match for fountain pens. The paper boasts a smooth writing feel and prevents watery inks, which are prone to bleeding, from soaking through to the other side. Unlike stark white paper, its natural texture allows any ink color to blend in beautifully, making every writing moment an exciting one! The Perfect Proportional Size The TATAMI MEMO is designed with the same proportions as a real Tatami mat. We pursued a size that is easy to write on, slips effortlessly into a pocket, and can be quickly accessed for immediate use. The answer we found was the "Tatami Ratio." The standard Tatami ratio is 2:1 (Length : Width). By applying this precise ratio, we created a memorandum that is exceptionally convenient to use! Furthermore, the design evokes the spirit of the Tatami, combining the mat's rustic, calming color palette with a pattern inspired by the weave of the rush grass, resulting in a stylish and eye-catching notebook.
