Yamamoto Paper Texture Series RO-BIKI Notebook – Edo-Cha
Description
Some colours carry a sense of place. Edo-cha is one of them. The Yamamoto Paper RO-BIKI Notebook in Edo-cha draws on a warm brown that became closely associated with Edo (modern-day Tokyo), favoured for its practicality, subtlety, and quiet confidence. Wrapped in waxed paper, the cover gradually deepens in tone and softens with use, developing a patina that feels lived-in rather than manufactured.
During the Edo period, this brown was widely worn in everyday garments such as kosode, and the name itself distinguished it from similar shades used in Kyoto, the capital at the time. Edo-cha reflects a grounded, urban sensibility — restrained, but never dull.
Inside, the notebook uses Soliste paper throughout. Smooth, composed, and dependable, it welcomes pencils, ballpoints, fountain pens and even dip pens without feathering or bleed-through. The long, slim format offers generous space for journalling, lists, sketches and extended notes, while remaining comfortable to hold and easy to carry.
Thread-bound to open fully flat, it stays open when you need it to, allowing thoughts to flow without interruption. A notebook that grows richer with time, and does so without fuss.
