{"product_id":"ro-biki-kiku-notebook-dot-grid","title":"RO-BIKI Kiku Notebook – Dot Grid","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pocket-sized Japanese notebook from Yamamoto Paper, finished with a ro-biki (waxed) cover that quietly changes as you carry it. The surface starts crisp. Over time, corners polish, creases settle in, and the print deepens, a cover that ages the way good things do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover features Chrysanthemums and Bee by Katsushika Hokusai, from his Large Flowers series (early 1830s). It feels closer and more intimate than his famous waves and mountains. Here, warm orange and yellow chrysanthemums fill the frame, with a single bee tucked among the petals. On ro-biki paper, that botanical warmth feels right at home, and the colors take on a softer depth as the cover wears in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRo-biki (蝋引き) is made by working wax into the paper by hand, leaving a lightly textured finish with subtle water resistance. It is not sealed like plastic. It breathes, it marks, and the waxed cover develops its own character the more you use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside are 60 pages of 65 gsm Soliste paper, smooth and fountain-pen-friendly with minimal feathering and bleed-through. The dot grid adds just enough structure for notes, sketches, journaling, and whatever else you carry with you. Ideal as an everyday carry pocket notebook for travel notes, café writing, and a simple daily journal, with the kind of paper Japanese stationery lovers reach for when they want a dependable fountain pen experience.\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: 3.5\" × 4.9\" (8.8 × 12.5 cm)\u003cimg\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 60\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: Dot Grid\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper Type: Soliste\u003cbr\u003ePaper Weight: 65 gsm\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: 1.1 oz (30 g)\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: Yamamoto Paper\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\"\u003eYamamoto Paper — Preserving the Joy of Paper for the Future\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"408\" data-start=\"66\"\u003eBased in Sakai, Osaka, Yamamoto Paper was founded in 1972 as a paper specialist.
