[Ginza TSUTAYA SHOTEN] How about your special note? First landing in Japan. A note made of “real wood” that highlights the beauty of 10 natural trees carefully selected from around the world.

Handmade notebook using natural wood by London-based brand “Bark & Rock”.

Ginza TSUTAYA SHOTEN (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) will begin selling “Notes made of real wood” at stores and online stores, the first to land in Japan.

Description of item

The brand's first-selling product in Japan is a novel notebook that makes use of the characteristic patterns of various trees to create a “tree” as a notebook. The wood used is collected from all over the world, and the most attractive and beautiful looking parts are processed and manufactured.

Each expression is different depending on the tree varieties and the environment in which they grew up, so this is exactly one point. The more you use it, the more it tastes, the more its texture and color change over time, and the more you become your own specification, the more you will love it. The notebook inside is removable, and ruled lines and plain refills are also available (sold separately). You can use it for a long time, not just once. The package has a classy design with a British atmosphere, making it a perfect gift.
