{"product_id":"dressco-spica-laid-bond-paper-notebook-b6-variant","title":"Dressco Spica Laid Bond Paper Notebook – B6 Variant","description":"\u003cp\u003eBalanced in size and presence, this hardcover Japanese notebook provides ample space for writing while remaining comfortable to carry. It opens flat for smooth writing and suits journaling, daily notes, or sketches alike. Willow Green offers a calm matte finish with natural warmth, while Platinum reflects light with a soft metallic sheen that shifts gently depending on the angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is Spica Laid Bond Paper, a cotton-rich writing paper crafted with precision by Mitsubishi Paper Mills at its Takasago Mill in Hyogo, Japan. First produced in 1970 on the same fourth paper machine that created the renowned Bank Ledger Paper, it was discontinued in October 2024 when that historic machine was retired. Once a paper machine stops, no other can reproduce the same texture—making every remaining sheet truly irreplaceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Spica comes from the brightest star in Virgo, and its constellation appears as a delicate watermark on each page—a quiet emblem of craftsmanship and heritage. Originally developed for legal documents and certificates, bond paper became admired for its strength and refined surface, later embraced in fine Japanese stationery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherished by fountain pen enthusiasts, this paper combines smoothness and soft resistance for effortless writing and graceful ink shading. Because it is no longer produced, once the remaining stock is gone, it cannot be restocked. Each notebook offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Japan’s most beloved writing papers—a quiet celebration of craftsmanship that will never be made the same way again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eExplore our \u003cspan style=\"color: #126638;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/komorebistationery.live\/collections\/japanese_notebooks\" title=\"Japanese notebooks\" style=\"color: #126638;\"\u003eJapanese notebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e collection, crafted for exceptional writing and creative sketching.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: B6 Variant - 5.0\" × 8.4\" × 0.28\" (12.8 cm × 21.4 cm × 0.7 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSheet Type: Blank\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaper Type: Spica Laid Bond Paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaper Weight: 74.77 gsm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 6.2 oz (175 g)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand: Takeo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-id=\"cdcf1f2b-05c0-4e96-af88-400098aea11c\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"64\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eTAKEO: More Than Just Paper\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1899 as a small paper shop in Kyobashi, Tokyo, TAKEO later moved to Kanda and has spent more than a century refining the expressive power of paper in a neighborhood of editors and printers. TAKEO sees paper not as a mere material but as an experience that begins the moment it is held. The warmth against the hand, the way light passes through a sheet, the sound when a page turns — the company has quietly explored why paper stays in our memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach comes to life at the Mihoncho Main Store (Paper Sample Gallery) in Kanda, Nishikicho. Visitors can pick up sheets, hold them to the light, stack and flip them, and check every nuance before they buy. You can feel the shades of white, the shadows of embossing, and the character of ink on a surface. Rather than simply selling paper as a tool, TAKEO creates a place where you can feel it first and choose with confidence. That commitment sits at the company’s core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts technical foundation is equally solid. TAKEO understands paper-making design, surface finishing, the reproducibility of color and texture, and the expressions that printing, processing, and binding can bring, then links these insights to the work of designers and production teams. This is why the company has supported choices where paper leads the story, from a single business card to book covers, packaging, and everyday stationery. For people who love paper, TAKEO is a trusted guide that helps you begin not with what to use, but with how it should feel and what it should communicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Takeo","offers":[{"title":"Willow_Green","offer_id":51033561497883,"sku":"1739987","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Platinum","offer_id":51033561530651,"sku":"1747501","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/0333\/2635\/files\/dressco-spica-laid-bond-paper-notebook-b6-variant-komorebi-stationery-1.jpg?v=1772787759","url":"https:\/\/komorebistationery.live\/products\/dressco-spica-laid-bond-paper-notebook-b6-variant","provider":"Komorebi Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
