Handcrafted Wood Leaf Notepad

Reviving Red Pine: From Withering Trees to a Shaved Wood Notepad

Facing the challenge of pine wilt disease, House of Shokunin infused new life into the Red Pine, seamlessly integrating a new product into our lives. Each notepad is meticulously handcrafted from reclaimed “Akamatsu” red pine sourced from the Shinshu Ina Valley in Nagano, Japan. Adding to this “living” notepad’s character, it may warp, crack, or the color may change over time. Carefully hand-bound, as in all natural things, it is important to appreciate the unique, delicate beauty of its imperfections.

Perfect for anyone who wants to indulge in nature and add a touch of rustic charm to their writing. The wooden texture of the notepad is smooth and enjoyable to the touch, making it not only visually appealing but also comfortable to use.

Adding to this “living” notepad’s character, it may warp or crack over time. As time passes, the color may change, adding to this journal’s charm.
