TSUBAME NOTE

TSUBAME NOTE feels like a quiet, steady companion. The cover design—kept since 1947—does not chase trends. It simply looks right on the desk, and that sense of calm is part of the experience before you even start writing.

The paper is another key. The brand’s foolscap paper is positioned as a writing-focused sheet, balancing smoothness and control. It is also described as easier on the eyes thanks to a non-fluorescent paper tone. Whether you use pencil, ballpoint, or a fountain pen, the goal is a consistent, comfortable line.

Thread binding supports everyday use. Pages feel stable while writing, and the notebook stays dependable when you flip back and forth. It is the kind of build you appreciate more as the pages fill up.

Choosing is part of the fun. B5 and A5 staples come with multiple rulings and page counts, while A4 formats, grid/blank pages, cream paper, square notebooks, memos, and observation notebooks let you match the notebook to your project.

For businesses and organizations, TSUBAME NOTE also offers name printing, custom orders, and OEM options. There are two paths—adding a logo to existing products, or creating a fully custom specification—depending on the purpose and lot size.

A cover design kept since 1947

The iconic cover design has remained unchanged since 1947 (Showa 22). It brings a calm, dignified look to the desk—new, yet instantly familiar.

Foolscap paper made for writing

TSUBAME NOTE uses foolscap paper for its writing feel and resistance to ink feathering. The brand notes a gentle paper tone without fluorescent dyes, and a watermark mark visible when held up to light.

Thread binding for durability

Many notebooks are thread-bound, helping pages stay secure and making the notebook feel reliable for long-term use—study notes, work logs, or anything you revisit.

A wide lineup for different ways of writing

From the standard B5/A5 “college notebooks” to A4 sizes, thick notebooks, grid/blank options, cream paper, square formats, memos, and more—there is a shape for each purpose. Product naming also follows clear rules (for example, B5 “W” and A5 “H” are explained as initials tied to the founder).
