The Appeal of Japanese Washi Paper Notebook (Wachou)

The premium notebook “Wacho” made with Izumo washi paper has the following appealing features:

Comfortable Writing Experience Created by High-Quality Washi Paper

We use particularly premium ganpi paper and mitsumata paper from the Izumo washi paper collection.

These washi papers are characterized by their moist texture and appropriate absorbency.

As a result, comfortable writing is possible with any writing instrument, whether it’s a fountain pen, ballpoint pen, or brush pen.

The ink adheres well with minimal bleeding, allowing your writing to appear crisp and beautiful. Additionally, the unique soft touch of washi paper enhances the joy of writing.

You can enjoy a pleasant writing experience for various purposes, from daily planners and memos to letters for important people in your life.

Beautiful Design and Premium Feel

Wacho is a washi notebook carefully bound sheet by sheet. It’s a fine piece that inspires attachment with each use, with a charm that makes you want to cherish it for a long time.

Its simple yet sophisticated Japanese design projects elegance even in business settings.

The covers use elaborately designed washi papers such as Izumo kumo paper, mizutama (polka dot) paper, and floral itajime paper.

You can feel the traditional Japanese beauty every time you hold it. Each time you open the notebook, your mind will calm down and your creativity will be stimulated.

Suitable for Various Uses

Wacho can be used for a variety of purposes, such as planners, shrine/temple stamp books, diaries, and sketchbooks. It’s ideal for recording precious memories and ideas.

For business purposes, it’s perfect for meeting minutes, business negotiation notes, and idea sketches. In private life, it’s suitable for recording travel memories, daily insights, words of gratitude, and other memorable events.

It’s also ideal for calligraphy and painting practice, allowing you to create works with the distinctive depth that only washi paper can provide.

Environmentally Friendly Materials

The washi paper used in Wacho is made from natural materials. It’s recommended for environmentally conscious individuals as an eco-friendly option.

The raw materials for washi paper, ganpi and mitsumata, are cultivated and harvested using sustainable methods. The washi paper, made with traditional methods that minimize the use of chemicals, is easily biodegradable after use.
