Yamamoto Paper Texture Series RO-BIKI Notebook, Japanese Pocket Size– Hanezu
Description
Some colours feel quietly poetic. Hanezu is one of them. The Yamamoto Paper RO-BIKI Notebook in Hanezu pairs a soft, warm hue with a waxed paper cover that gradually deepens and softens through use, developing a gentle vintage character unique to each notebook.
The Texture Series is Yamamoto Paper’s exploration of how wax coating can enhance the natural qualities of paper. Embossed patterns are formed using engraved press rolls, then combined with carefully colour-controlled raw materials. Once waxed, the tones gain depth, and subtle variations in transparency emerge depending on how much wax the paper absorbs. The result is a cover that feels tactile, layered, and quietly expressive.
Hanezu is a traditional Japanese colour associated with delicate reddish tones, often described as a soft, pink-tinged brown. Historically used in garments and dyes, it carries a gentle warmth that feels neither bold nor plain — a colour that reveals itself slowly.
Inside, the notebook uses Soliste paper throughout. Smooth and dependable, it handles pencils, ballpoints, fountain pens and dip pens without feathering or bleed-through. The compact pocket format makes it ideal for everyday notes, fleeting thoughts, or sketches made on the move.
Thread-sewn binding allows the notebook to open fully to 360°, ensuring durability and ease of use over time. Small in size, but rich in character, it’s a notebook designed to be carried often and kept close.
