A5 Notebook | Enshu Orimono 01

Kakimori A5 Notebook Enshu Orimono 01 brings together traditional Japanese weaving with the function of a daily writing companion.

The cover is wrapped in Enshu Orimono fabric, a textile craft passed down for generations in western Shizuoka since the Edo period. Woven on traditional looms, the cotton fabric carries a subtle texture and depth of colour, giving each notebook a tactile presence that feels closer to cloth than paper.

Inside, smooth book paper with a light grid provides a calm framework for writing, sketching, or planning. The section-sewn binding allows the notebook to open fully flat, supporting a natural writing flow across each page. A ribbon marker and protective slipcase complete the design, adding thoughtful functionality to an object made to be kept and revisited over time.

" Developed as a project reimagining traditional Japanese motifs with a modern twist, this fabric combines Shinchi Orimono’s signature sashiko dobby with kasuri (ikat) yarn. The colourful tie-dye style yarn was specially commissioned for this project. A highly specialised, one-of-a-kind textile."
