I have an itoya oasis notebook that I adore. Paper feels lux and has the right amount of tooth and it magically lays flat despite having a cloth binding. Got it at that Japanese paper/pen shop on Santana Row in san jose. https://itoya.com/products/notebooks-journals/profolio-oasis... also have a kyokuto side-bound wire notebook that has held up like a champ. The wire doesn't get mangled from jamming it into my backpack like some POS mead notebook would. Got it at the japanese paper store in japantown sf
https://kencrooker.com/review-kyokuto/ Still I think from now on I'm going to stick with the magic lay-flat cloth bound. one curious statement from the article: > Despite Japan’s international reputation for using futuristic technology... maybe in the 1980s? As late as a few years ago, it was rare for a hotel in japan to have wifi. They're lagging in tech now in several industries. |
