The wood’s texture and grain patterns bring a serene feeling every time you open the notebook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKyogi has an interesting history in Japan. About 1500 years ago, when Buddhism was introduced, paper was rare and precious. Monks at that time wrote sutras on thin wood as part of their training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technology back then couldn’t shave wood as thinly as today. The manufacturer, Yamatowa, welcomed skilled artisans to develop the technique. They succeeded in commercializing this unique Japanese notebook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/0333\/2635\/files\/shiki_bun_Japanese_wooden_notebook_-_Komorebi_Stationery4.webp?v=1712454825\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince it’s made of 100% wood, ink may bleed or transfer easily.

Sketching with colored pencils on the wood is also a great idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternatively, you can embrace the ink bleed as a natural feature of the wood.
